UNVEILS NEW SINGLE & VIDEO
“DON’T MAKE ME LOVE U”
OUT NOW
GRAMMY® & Emmy Award-winning superstar singer, songwriter, rapper, instrumentalist, and actress Lizzo has released a new track and video, “Don’t Make Me Love U,” — listen HERE / watch HERE. The anthemic ballad, produced by longtime collaborator Ricky Reed & Cheche Alara, kicks off Lizzo’s new musical era.
The video, directed by Tanner K Williams and shot by Bentley Rawle, gives a surreal and visually striking look into a familiar relationship of grappling with your past-self, reflecting and eventually evolving through learning and growth. It’s as cinematic and sincere as it is satirical as told through a cerebral lens of Lizzo and Lizzy, her alter ego.
This much anticipated release comes on the heels of a fully sold-out run of shows at Blue Note Jazz Club’s Los Angeles & New York locations, totalling a run of 12 performances. Variety heralded that “these shows reminded the audience, up close and personal, what a major talent Lizzo is: a top-class singer, an engaging and entertaining performer, and to a degree we haven’t really seen before, a trained, serious musician.” She most recently gave an electrifying performance to a sold-out Houston Rodeo with over 70,000 fans earlier this month.
Lizzo also recently announced the upcoming release of her first ever children’s book Lil Lizzo Meets Sasha B. Flootin’, coming to bookshelves all over on September 8th, 2026. Published by Simon & Schuster Books for Young Readers, the story tells the tale of a bubbly little girl who just wants to belong meeting a smart and brassy flute who can’t find her tune, winding up on a wild adventure to places filled with incredible sounds.
