A return to his indie roots...
14 · 11 · 2025
There’s a saying that you can’t return home. However, Louis Tomlinson appears determined to challenge that notion with his new single ‘Palaces,’ which brings him back – both in spirit and sound – to his origins.
The song addresses the theme of returning home, contrasting the pressures of fame with the desire to feel grounded, showcasing Louis Tomlinson’s growth and sincerity.
Following the recent release of ‘Lemonade’ – the first preview from his forthcoming album ‘How Did I Get Here?’, set to drop on January 23rd – this track captures the catchy guitar pop style that Louis Tomlinson has made distinctly his own.
A well-crafted piece of melodic indie, ‘Palaces’ features a dramatic and theatrical vocal performance from Louis Tomlinson, filled with his unique touch.
Written and recorded right here in the UK, ‘Palaces’ represents Louis Tomlinson expressing his personal truths. Whether enjoying himself at Glastonbury or covering Hozier’s ‘Too Sweet’ for Radio 1’s Live Lounge, he seems committed to staying true to his instincts.
With a headlining appearance at Capital’s Jingle Bell Ball on the horizon, these are exciting times for the pop star, marking another high point in his tumultuous career. He sings:
“I’m lost in the time, I don’t care for the world outside, you can stay through the night in the palaces of my mind.”
