By the Numbers
This is where the room settles. Jared Solomon, producing as Solomonophonic, is on ten of the eleven tracks and co-writes eight, with Conor Dickinson and William Brown alongside him. Young writes on all eleven and closes the album with 'Outro', which she wrote and produced alone. 'Messy', the song that broke her worldwide, is one of the few here with only two writers.
This Wasn't Meant for You Anyway is Lola Young's second studio album, released on 21 June 2024 through Island Records. Eleven tracks run 38 minutes. It reached number 16 on the UK Albums Chart and carries 'Messy', which went viral on TikTok and topped the charts in six countries, winning her the Grammy for Best Pop Solo Performance.
