Lola Young – Messy

Lola Emily Mary Young (born 4 January 2001) is a British singer and songwriter from London. She is best known for her 2024 song “Messy”, which was her first song to top the UK Singles Chart. 

Discussing the inspiration behind the viral song with Jimmy Fallon, Lola said: “It’s been speculated that it’s about my parents. It’s massively about some close family but it’s a combination. It’s more about myself, I am too messy. I’ve never held a broom in my life. Everything in my life is a mess so it’s a very fitting track.”

She then added: “I recently got diagnosed with severe ADHD. It’s been very hard but complex. It’s just about the complexities of how I feel about myself and, on top of that, narcissistic men unfortunately.”
