She also shared a big screen-worthy music video directed by Colin Tilley to accompany the track. In the video, we see Lizzo recovering from heartache as she heads out for a night with her friends, only to discover they’re slowly melting into an ominously faceless mob.
Watch HERE. It notably marks her first solo release in three years since 2022.
Moreover, it also heralds the arrival of her fifth full-length LP and one of the most anticipated albums of 2025, Love In Real Life.
“Love In Real Life” finds Lizzofiring on all cylinders. Once again, she boldly evolves, leaning into rock ‘n’ roll like never before.
The track’s soft-spoken word intro gives way to bright guitar and a breezy beat illuminated by her instantly recognizable delivery. Picking up the pace, wild riffing and a boogie down groove underline an unrestrained and undeniable refrain as she issues a flirty invitation, “Baby come over here, I need love in real life.”
The visual evokes this energy and elevates her to another level altogether.
To celebrate the start of this chapter, Lizzo will perform three super intimate fan shows next month.
First up, she graces the stage of The Wiltern in Los Angeles on March 12, followed by Irving Plaza in New York, NY on March 16 and First Avenue in Minneapolis, MN on March 18. Ticket pre-sale signups are available today at http://www.lizzomusic.com/. Presales will start on March 5, and general on-sale begins on March 6th at 10 am local.
Earlier this month, she ignited social media by teasing “Love in Real Life.” First up, she bid “farewell” to her special era in a viral post, followed by the reveal of a flute-soundtracked trailer for “Love In Real Life,” generating hundreds of thousands of views and “likes.”
Rolling Stone noted, “She is entering a ‘new era’ of music,” and Billboard excitedly proclaimed, “It’s about damn time for some new Lizzo music.”
