The 37-year-old artist posted the cover of the mixtape, giving two censored middle fingers to the camera, along with a photo of the title list. The caption read "My face hurt from smiling" – the mixtape drops on Friday. The 13-track album features Doja Cat and Sza.

Connection to Studio Album

The mixtape appears to be part of her already planned studio album, "Love in Real Life", which she announced at the beginning of this year. Although her label has not confirmed this, it is expected that the mixtape will be a precursor to the full album.

Recent Music Releases

Lizzo’s single, "Love in Real Life", was released in February and marked her return to music and the public eye. The pop-rock inspired song was her first solo release in almost three years. She has not released an album since 2022 but participated in the 2023 "Barbie" soundtrack. Her second single, "Still Bad", was released in March.

Teasing New Music

Lizzo has been teasing new music for some time. On February 13, she posted an Instagram video of herself reciting "Bye Bitch" from her 2022 album, with a caption that read "End of an era". This sparked speculation about her upcoming music.

Behind-the-Scenes

The singer first teased new music in a December episode of Keke Palmer’s podcast, "Baby, this is Keke Palmer". Lizzo stated that her album was finished and she was happy with the result. She also addressed the lawsuit against her by some of her former dancers who claimed they were sexually harassed and victims of a hostile work environment.

Update on Lawsuit

In the podcast, Lizzo spoke about the lawsuit, stating that she had been released from the case. She mentioned that they would continue to fight the other claims until they were all released, calling it "a big victory". This update comes after a tumultuous period for the singer, who has been focused on creating new music and moving forward.
