Louis Tomlinson is giving his fans the best gift possible today — a new song!
Earlier today (October 12), the former One Direction band member revealed a new track called “Just Like You,” which he says he’s “really attached to.”
“Just Like You is a song I’m really attached to. It’s all about this view of celebrities that we’re impenetrable and almost not human, but fundamentally we all have the same problems. Heartbreak feels the same, loss feels the same, all these feelings are the same for all of us,” Tomlinson says.
“Just Like You” is a modern mid-tempo pop song written by Louis, BURNS and Jesse Thomas and produced by BURNS. Lyrically, the track tells fans how Louis is emotionally just the same as them, a sentiment that is sure to resonate with his millions of followers globally.
Louis took to Twitter yesterday to share the news with fans and the story behind the track:
So I wrote a song called Just Like You a few months ago. After a few conversations with the label I told them that I wanted to release it
