Is it true that you threw up on stage at Coachella
0:03
I didn't know, that's not true, I almost did. But actually vomiting, no, that never happened
0:10
Now, every now and again, an artist releases a song and you just know that it's going to be a nailed on hit
0:16
Yes. And we said that, didn't we? We said that. About Lola Young's Messi, and she joins us now
0:21
She joins us now! And we've been rinsing this song on her
0:25
I can't believe we've actually been playing it. I feel so cool. and I just said to lovely Lola just off air then
0:32
that my daughter Holly cannot believe we've got her on the show. Yeah, you've got some cred points for that
0:36
I've got big points. Thank you. She's such a fan. It's so good to have you here
0:40
How are you doing? I'm good. Loving the whole outfit. Thank you so much
0:44
Yeah, Lola has piercings in places I didn't even realise that piercings were a thing
0:50
Now you're starting to sound like her dad. Talk me through. So what's going on
0:58
So we've got eyebrow. We've got three eyebrows, three nose, one nose hair, three dermals
1:04
Three down the one side of the face. Those ones look painful, I'm not going to lie. Yeah, they actually weren't as painful as some of the other ones
1:11
Okay, well, we'll leave that. It's breakfast. Everyone's enjoying their cornflakes, Jamie
1:16
We're on the school run, Jamie. Obviously, we mentioned the song. The life cycle of that song has been extraordinary
1:23
because you actually, I mean, it's been out now. for a year and a half, something like that, Messi
1:29
Is that right? A little bit, yeah, around that. And it was only really that then through
1:33
it got picked up on TikTok. Yeah, it kind of just blew up. And then Kylie Jenner did that lip sync thing
1:39
And that's where we've got today. I mean, it must be weird monitoring that once you've kind of recorded it and done it
1:44
Yeah, I mean, it's mad. The journey with it has been mad. Very, very surreal
1:48
And how has your life changed since that, would you say? It's definitely changed. In a good way
1:53
In both ways, I would say. I mean in some capacity it been difficult to navigate but in other ways it been amazing I mean I think you know there always like pros and cons of everything in life but I just very grateful for the response I very grateful that I able to have like such an amazing fan base
2:09
and I think it's the right song to have blown up for me, you know, for a song that's blown up
2:14
I think it's very fitting. It is. It's absolutely unbelievable. I think it was Steve Martin that said it's about fame
2:20
He said, it's always good because you can always get a table in any restaurant you want
2:23
but you might get videoed whilst you eat. Exactly. So that's exactly what life is probably like for you now
2:29
Yeah, I mean, yeah, I mean, I think it's still at quite a sweet level, I would say
2:33
It's not like, you know, to have people queuing up outside my house or wherever I go
2:37
But it still is intense. I do ask for a lot of photos. I kind of, some days I enjoy it, sometimes I'm like, oh, but I think for the most part, I'm just very grateful
2:46
The album's out on Friday. It's a very honest album. You're very frank about a lot of things
2:52
Yeah. Do you ever write anything or record something and go, oh, I'm not sure I want my mum to hear that
2:57
No. No. Because otherwise half the stuff wouldn't be out. Do you never, do you never..
3:02
They must be so proud of you. Yeah, my mum's super proud. My stepdad's super proud
3:06
Yeah, it's amazing, like, having such a supportive family. I think that's really been key in what I've done
3:13
and how I've achieved. But I like being as honest and open
3:17
and sometimes as, like, gritty and crude as I want to be on record
3:22
because I think that's where you can be self-expressive. Does it frustrate you that other people maybe aren't
3:28
Or is that not... No, it doesn't bother me. I mean, I don't really, you know, I just
3:32
I love a lot of music and a lot of different types of genres. And, you know, it depends on what genre you're listening to
3:38
what kind of, what artists tend to embody. But I just personally like, to be honest
3:44
it's the only place I ever can be honest. So that's where, you know. When you were growing up, who did you listen to
3:48
What was played in the house? A lot of different things. I mean, my mum introduced me to a lot of like
3:52
Carole King and like... Tapestry, yeah. Tapestry, yeah, I love that. And then like you know classic MJ and Prince I was listening to a lot of Prince D Erica Bedouin Hill And then there was a lot of like I don know whatever was playing on radio but I tend to do a lot of digging myself
4:09
I explored a lot of different types of music and music's a big part of my life, obviously
4:13
but more so what I consume is also really important. So, you know, from everything
4:18
I think that's evident in your music because it's such a broad, it seems to be such a broad church of inspiration
4:25
that you draw from. Exactly, yeah. You were so little when you started, really
4:29
Well, the whole thing is in your blood. For sure, yeah, yeah. I've come from a musical family and everything
4:33
Yeah, so it was a musical family. So was it always the case, because you went to the Brit school, right
4:37
I did, yeah, yeah. So was it always the intention that this was the career you were going to pursue
4:42
Yeah, there was never a plan B, no, no, no. Now, obviously, as Amanda said, it's been quite a whirlwind 12 months for you
4:49
the last year or so. We've been doing a bit of research on the internet
4:54
We've come up with a load of stories about you, and we'd like you to tell us
4:57
which are fact and which are fiction. Okay, go on. Okay? You gonna start, Jamie Thigston
5:03
I'll start. Is it true that you threw up on stage at Coachella
5:07
I didn't know. That's not true. I almost did. What was that all about? Was that nerves
5:11
Yes. Was it? Oh, God, definitely. I get this. It's a new thing. Since my crowds have been bigger
5:16
and my audience has been bigger, I have this thing where I, like, almost vomit. And now I've learned
5:20
to hold it back because it's not hot or cute to do that. But actually
5:25
vomiting, no, that never happened. And anyone who says it did, you can shut up
5:29
Because I didn't actually vomit. She's proud of herself that she didn't, because she had Vimpto
5:33
just before. Can you imagine that? Louis Capaldi used to say that. He used to feel physically
5:39
sick on stage. It's horrific. Coachella, can you imagine? Oh my God. There's a video of it
5:45
Does it get a bit... You see me like... Bless your heart
5:50
Oh God. I had to own it, otherwise someone else would. Okay, is it true that your favourite
5:55
film is The Truman Show? One of them, yeah, yeah, that's true
5:59
I love that film So why I love Jim Carrey I love the kind of it such a good it such a good storyline concept such a good concept and he amazing in it and you know it just like
6:11
you want to go and he breaks free he breaks free he breaks free and it's just so clever
6:15
it's what we all think but don't have the balls to kind of go oh I'm a main character in the show
6:19
you know is it true that you play the violin no not true at all no no no
6:26
that's not true any other instruments do you play anything do you play anything
6:30
yeah the piano and the guitar yeah yeah I play both I write on that how on earth do you play the guitar with those nails
6:34
well right now I'm not playing oh no I actually did try and have I have a play yesterday
6:38
with these nails I could get like one string you could do Spanish you could sort of
6:42
pluck it I suppose yeah is it true that you wrote Messi in one hour yes
6:47
oh my god amazing no no I didn't know I fell for that
6:54
no I wrote the crux of Messi in an hour the next day I wrote it
6:57
and yeah it took a little bit longer And did you know, this is it, I've nailed this
7:02
Do you know that when you've done a song or do you just never know until you know that this is going to be a hit
7:07
No, no, of course not, no. No way. Otherwise I would have had so many more
7:11
Well, no, because I would have gone, yeah, that one's here, that one's here, that one's here. I know to release those ones
7:15
But I'm not saying it's easy, but I'm saying when you do it, you have that moment
7:20
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Is it true the first song you wrote about was getting sweets from Santa
7:25
Yeah. Is it? Oh, could you remember it? No, no. Don't make me do that
7:32
It's too early. Is it true that you used to make makeup tutorials on YouTube
7:38
Yeah, I did, I did, I did, I did. Oh, I love that. Are they still there? No, thankfully
7:44
Oh, my gosh. This is the way forward. Well, listen, that is the Lola Young fact file
