Lola Young - I’m Only Fucking Myself

On ‘I’m Only Fucking Myself’, Lola Young bares it all: gloriously unfiltered, sharply observed and often very funny. It’s a record full of impulse and contradiction, where sex, shame, addiction and arrogance all bleed into one another. Every song sounds like it could be a single - just not always one you’d hear before the watershed.

A soft-spoken voice note leads into ‘FUCK EVERYONE’, a punchy, sex-first opener that kicks the album off with confidence and zero shame. ‘One Thing’ keeps the mood unbothered and horny, flaunting its hook with a wink. ‘d£aler’ shifts the emotional weight, addressing sobriety with clarity, but never losing its sense of groove; it's one of several moments where Lola explores something raw without softening the blow.

She’s a writer who understands balance. ‘Post Sex Clarity’ is reflective but sly, delivering one of the album’s best lines - “When I finish it’s not the end of you and I” - like it’s been sitting in her Notes app for bloody ages. ‘SPIDERS’ unpacks anxiety with tenderness, while ‘who fucking cares?’ drifts into emotional collapse.
