Singer Louis Tomlinson has returned with a new song, “Walls”, which reflects on parting ways with a lover. He says he pretends not to be romantic, but he is.
“It’s about coming home having been on tour, soon after the band (One Direction) had split. I found some of my girlfriend’s clothes in the cupboard and it hit me what I’d done. I love the indie sound of the song and its circular nature – it opens and closes with the same lyric,” Tomlinson said.
The song’s lyric – “Nothing wakes you up like waking up alone” shows his progression as a songwriter ready to reveal his vulnerable side.

“I pretend not to be romantic, but I am. It really hit home when I was in the studio to hear the strings being recorded. There must have been 25 musicians in there, all for my song. It was a proper tearjerking moment already and I’ve never felt a shiver like it,” said the young singer.
“Walls” is from Tomlinson’s highly anticipated debut solo album also titled “Walls”, which released on January 31.
Lyrically, he is proud of all the 12 tracks on the album.
