Global chart-topping music artist Louis Tomlinson today releases his new single ‘Imposter’.
‘Imposter’ is a raw and low-fi indie pop song featuring a pulsing bassline and dirty guitars. Written by Louis with Nico Rebscher and Dave Gibson, the lyrics talk about Louis’s reality of experiencing imposter syndrome and not feeling worthy.
“I can’t get this feeling out my head, that I am the imposter. I don’t really know who I am anymore”
Louis says: “Imposter was written in the jungle in Costa Rica. Conceptually it leans into the idea of identity. It’s probably the most melodic moment on the record, I’m really excited for the world to finally hear it!”

‘Imposter’ is taken from Louis’s upcoming third album ‘How Did I Get Here?’, which will be released this Friday 23rd January 2026 and is available for pre-order now at https://louist.lnk.to/HowDidIGetHerePR
For his third album Louis has pushed himself as a lyricist, songwriter, and performer, holding nothing back on these tracks. As a writer, he’s diving deeper into who he is than ever before. This time around, Louis assembled a handful of initial ideas in the English countryside before decamping to Santa Teresa in Costa Rica for three weeks in early 2025. He dove into writing and recording alongside primary collaborator and co-producer Nico Rebscher [Aurora, Alice Merton]. The atmosphere of his surroundings underscored the ensuing body of work.
First single ‘Lemonade’ was playlisted by Radio 1, Radio 2 and Capital in the UK, and Louis performed the track on Radio 1’s Live Lounge alongside a cover of Hozier’s ‘Too Sweet’.
Second release ‘Palaces’ received critical acclaim from Clash Magazine calling it “A terrific, finessed piece of melodic indie, with a real sense of theatre and drama to the vocal.” Louis performed the track in an ‘Amazon Music Presents’ session and headlined Capital’s Jingle Bell Ball at The O2 in London.
Louis has just announced a special gig at Racket in New York this Friday 23rd, and he will appear on The Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon this Thursday 22nd. Sunday 25th January will see ‘How Did I Get Here? The Experience’ take place in London, an immersive event at Outernet featuring large-scale visualisers and exclusive merch.
This year Louis will embark on a huge ‘How Did We Get Here?’ world arena tour that will visit Europe and North America starting March 2026. Tickets are on sale now.
