Coachella will be livestreamed for free on YouTube through to 2026
YouTube has renewed its deal with Coachella, meaning this April we’ll be able to watch sets from WILLOW, Knocked Loose, Scowl, YUNGBLUD and more…
Listen to WILLOW's new single Lipstick before pop-punk album lately I feel EVERYTHING arrives in July.
Fresh from confirming the title and release date of her new album, WILLOW has shared a brand-new rock song, Lipstick.
Heavier and more anthemic than April's pop-punk tinged t r a n s p a r e n t s o u l featuring Travis Barker, WILLOW explains: "I just wanted to let loose with this album. I wanted to have fun and be young and not be so existential and worrying all the time."
She adds: "I thought this was a really dope outlet for a new energy I wanted to bring to my music."
Lipstick is taken from WILLOW's new record, lately I feel EVERYTHING, which is due out on July 16 on MSFTSMusic / Roc Nation via Polydor in the UK.

Speaking to Billboard about the direction of her new album, WILLOW announced, “In the guitar world, it’s heavily dominated by white men, and I just wanted to come in and fuck it up. I hope to see more women of colour rocking out and playing guitar and bass, and I want to be their cheerleader. I want to be in their service."
She later continued: "I wanted to let other people of colour know that we should be able to do whatever we want; we should be able to scream and growl and shred. And with the history of what we’ve had to endure in this country, I think that rock is a pretty perfect place to do that.”
Check out the lyrics to Lipstick below:
Lipstick on a mirror
Saying who you want to be
Vision gets dimmer
The room is closing in on me
Feeling all alone no space no time
Looking at life through a blue bird’s eye
(I am flying x3)
And I went up so far, I took my time
Tell me why I couldn’t ever find cloud nine
(alright x3)
I spread my wings
The song they sing
I owe it all to you
I owe it all to you
It just smoke and mirrors
They said its gonna take some time
I think we live in a labyrinth that was created by my mind
I never wanted to just suffer inside
Hurt don’t heal when I am always tryna hide
And I am looking at pain like my old close friend
Open arms to her when I see her again
I spread my wings
The song they sing
I owe it all to you
I owe it all to you
