Dork cover star Louis Tomlinson has released his third album, 'How Did I Get Here?'
The world tour kicks off with a special New York performance in March 2026.
Louis Tomlinson has unveiled his third album, 'How Did I Get Here?'.
The follow-up to 'WALLS' and 'Faith in the Future', the record - out today, Friday 23rd January - also sees him take his second Dork cover, for March 2026.
Commenting on the release, he says, “I sum up it as ‘The record I always deserved to make'. My bread and butter is the honesty. I genuinely wear my heart on my sleeve, and I hope it comes through in the music.
"I’m still learning and getting better as a singer and a songwriter. I find it impossible to be complacent; it’s not in my vocabulary. For the first time now, I’m allowing myself to be the artist I’d always hoped to be.”
