The song is the latest preview from her forthcoming album
Ivor Novello Rising Star Winner and BRIT Award-nominated South London artist Lola Young unveils her gut-wrenching new single “Spiders,” from her highly anticipated album, I’m Only F**king Myself, due out September 19th via Island Records.
An emotional anchor on Lola’s upcoming album, “Spiders,” is a blistering build of a ballad. Incorporating 90s-style grunge production, which intertwines seamlessly with Lola’s raw, unbridled emotion, conveyed through her lyricism and vocal performance, “Spiders” unlocks a deeper level of Lola’s artistry.
“Sometimes you want to kill what you’re most scared of in life, but when you actually face up to it, it’s really not as scary as you thought it would be,” says Young.
Arriving later this month, I’m Only F**king Myself encapsulates Young’s emotional and musical growth. It’s a bright, touching body of work that often dives into the dark and raw but is counterbalanced by Lola’s uncompromising attitude, unafraid to get candid with exactly how she feels. Co-written and produced with frequent collaborators Manuka and Solomonophonic (Doja Cat, SZA), the album explores themes of self-sabotage and Lola’s attempt to pull herself out of it. The upcoming album features recent offerings, “D£aler,” “Not Like That Anymore,” and “One Thing.”
In celebration of the album, Lola will head out on a nationwide record store tour, kicking off later this month, and will then embark on her biggest UK headlining shows in October, with all dates sold out. She will perform two nights at Manchester’s O2 Victoria Warehouse, the O2 Academy in Birmingham, and two nights at London’s O2 Academy Brixton, before an anticipated return to North America for headline shows in November, with a headlining European run in 2026.
