Louis Tomlinson’s Debut Album Is “80% Done” And Might Be Out This Year
The 'Back To You' singer revealed the surprise rock inspirations behind his solo music...
Despite being one of the busiest men in pop, we managed to convince Louis Tomlinson to sit down with us for an MTV Asks… special and he revealed a LOT about his upcoming debut album.
Talking about his collaborations with Bebe Rexha and Steve Aoki, he revealed that one of them actually came around from him sliding into their Twitter DMs!
That’s right, after accidentally seeing Steve Aoki play a show in Las Vegas while on holiday, the ‘Back To You’ singer decided to give the world-famous DJ a casual message suggesting they work together.
“That one was really super random. We were actually meant to watch Calvin Harris’ set and Calvin pulled out then Steve went and filled in the slot. We’d never seen Steve before and, we’d had a few drinks but, it was unbelievable. Such a great show, really fun.”
I bet he was glad Calvin cancelled when their single ‘Just Hold On’ went to number two in the charts!
While he doesn’t mention if ‘Just Hold On’ will feature on his album or not, Louis says the album might be out by the end of the year.
“In my head I’m like 80% done on the album,” he says, before saying his ‘ambitious’ deadline would see the album released before 2017 comes to a close.
Louis says “It’s very much a pop record” but reveals the very surprising rock artists who have heavily influenced his solo material, ranging from Green Day to Arctic Monkeys.
“Lyrically it feels more vulnerable and more honest than what you’re used to with pop.”
We are READY for a pop-rock takeover from Mr. Tomlinson!

But these days I don't even know myself, no
I always thought I'd be with someone else
I thought I would own the way I felt, yeah
I call you but you never even answer
I tell myself I'm done with wicked games
But then I get so numb with all the laughter
That I forget about the pain
Woah, you stress me out, you kill me
You drag me down, you f- me up
We're on the ground, we're screaming
I don't know how to make it stop
I love it, I hate it, and I can't take it
But I keep on coming back to you
I know my friends, they give me bad advice
Like move on, get you out my mind
But don't you think I haven't even tried?
You got me cornered and my hands are tied
You got me so addicted to the drama
I tell myself I'm done with wicked games
But then I get so numb with all the laughter
That I forget about the pain
Oh, you stress me out, you kill me
You drag me down, you f- me up
We're on the ground, we're screaming
I don't know how to make it stop
I love it, I hate it, and I can't take it
But I keep on coming back to you (back to you)
Oh, no, no, I just keep on coming back to you (back to you)
Oh, no, no, I just keep on coming back to you
And I guess you'll never know
All the bullsh- that you put me through
And I guess you'll never know, no
Yeah, so you can cut me up and kiss me harder
You can be the pill to ease the pain
'Cause I know I'm addicted to your drama
And baby, here we go again
Woah, you stress me out, you kill me
You drag me down, you f- me up
We're on the ground, we're screaming
I don't know how to make it stop
I love it, I hate it, and I can't take it
But I keep on coming back to you (back to you)
Oh, no, no, I just keep on coming back to you (back to you)
Oh, no, no, I just keep on coming back to you (to you, to you)
I just keep on coming back to you
