In a tweet Lizzo wrote: "I ain't know it was gonna be a SINGLE single.. I thought it was gonna be low-key… But the cat is out the bag chileee."

Lizzo's second studio album drops on 15 July; the first single, About Damn Time, was released in April.

Speaking about the new album, in an interview with Zane Lowe on Apple Music 1, the Grammy winner said that 'the music is going to speak for itself.'

"I'm writing songs about love from every direction, and I hope that I can turn a little bit of the fear that's been running rampant in this world, energetically, into love," she said.
