Lola Young dropped some truths about her sexuality over the weekend, and did so with a single line of text in a comment on a TikTok video.
The 24-year-old British alt-pop sensation, fresh off her Coachella set and the Billboard success of her breakout hit, “Messy,” posted a video of herself dancing and lip-syncing to CMAT’s “Take a Sexy Picture of Me” while wearing a corseted grey hoodie and matching sweatpants.
In the comments section of the video, one user said, “no man deserves this,” which prompted a response from Young stating, “i like p***y as well u kno.”

Prior to this, Young has never publicly addressed her sexuality, though she did confirm to British GQ back in 2021 that the first time she’d fallen in love was when she was 14.
“I believe in young love, for sure, but I believe love does not change depending on your life experience,” she said at the time. “The person [I fell in love with] was great, but it just wasn’t right.”
She further clarified, “I don’t love love most of the time, but sometimes I do, and I don’t like change, which means I like to stay in relationships as long as they last.”
Young has been a rising star since she debuted with “6 Feet Under” in 2019, and “Messy” took the number one spot in the charts in the UK, Australia, Belgium, Croatia, Ireland, and Israel.

Overall, Young’s frank lyrics and unique sound have garnered her the attention, with “Messy” initially becoming a viral sensation after it became a TikTok trending sound in 2024.
Following her success at Coachella, Young’s upcoming UK tour dates and festival appearances are also already selling out, and she’s hinted at new music later this year. She has also shared more of her creative process on social media, giving us a deeper insight into how she works.
Her comment about “liking p***y” was well-received by fans, who continue to admire her blunt honesty.
