“Palaces” arrives as the latest preview of How Did I Get Here?, set for release on January 23, 2026. The album features 12 new tracks, produced by Nico Rebscher, and marks what Tomlinson has described as his “most optimistic” body of work yet. Written during an extended stay in Santa Teresa, Costa Rica, the record draws from a period of personal recalibration, where Tomlinson found renewed clarity, calm, and purpose.
His upcoming album follows the success of Faith in the Future (2022), which debuted at No. 1 in the UK and No. 5 on the Billboard 200.
