A reflective narrative on self-sabotage...

Lola Young continues to ascend with her latest single ‘d£aler’.
The British artist has experienced a remarkable 18 months, achieving viral success on both sides of the Atlantic. Her upcoming album ‘I’m Only F**king Myself’ promises a moment of genuine honesty and is set to be released on September 19th.
Following a series of outstanding singles and festival performances, Lola is enjoying a summer filled with new layers of introspection.
‘d£aler’ has a bittersweet essence – while it boasts one of her most vibrant pop melodies, the chorus is sure to linger in your mind after just one listen.
However, when you delve deeper, you’ll uncover lyrics that are deeply revealing, exploring themes of self-sabotage, reckless behavior, and the tendency to mask pain with increasingly poor choices.
Co-written and produced in collaboration with her regular partners Manuka and SOLOMONOPHONIC, ‘d£aler’ is not only a flawless pop creation but also one that demonstrates courage.
Tune in now.
