In a press release, the singer described the new album as "the record I always deserved to make," emphasizing his commitment to honesty and vulnerability in his songwriting.
Tomlinson's solo success continues to grow, with his previous two albums, 2020's "Walls" and 2022's "Faith in the Future," both cracking the top 10 of the Billboard 200 chart. For his third effort, the artist once again collaborated with producer Nico Rebscher and traveled to Costa Rica for inspiration.

The two-day event, taking place at Brewery Ommegang in Cooperstown, New York, will feature headlining performances by Tomlinson and Lauv, as well as sets by Plain White T's, Daya, Pale Waves, and a "special guest" appearance by Steve Aoki.
