Young performed to a packed out Woodsies tent at Glastonbury on Friday (June 27). In a round-up of the best sets from the weekend, NME wrote: “A lot has changed for Lola Young since she first performed at Glasto back in 2022. Returning now having played at the BRITs, graced the NME Cover and having her song ‘Messy’ reach over 700million streams on Spotify, there is no doubt that this moment on the Woodsies stage was a powerful one for the London singer.

“Alongside some of the first live renditions of new tracks ‘One Thing’ and ‘Not Like That Any More’, the most magical moment of her set came with the emotional ballad, ‘You Noticed’, Young looking visibly moved by the huge response from the packed crowd.”

NME caught up with Young on the red carpet of the Ivors in London in May, where she was nominated for Best Album and Best Song Musically And Lyrically, but went home with the coveted Rising Star Award.

Her win comes in the midst of a huge year, with her single ‘Messy’ ranking as one of the biggest songs of 2025 so far, after attracting millions of streams and going viral due to its lyrics about self-worth in the face of doubt.

“It’s weird for me talking about my own song that I wrote from my past experience in a way that sounds like it’s not me talking about it,” she told NME. “I just wrote it from a really personal place and it can sometimes be re-triggering hearing that song because it was so intense. I’m out of that place now, out of that difficult time in my life.

“I think it’s just a relatable song. A lot of people don’t feel like they’re enough for somebody; they don’t feel like they’ll ever win.”

Asked about having connected with so many people, she replied: “It feels incredible – a feeling I’m blessed to be feeling. There are so many incredible artists across the world, and artists who don’t even know they’re artists yet: just pure singer-songwriters who write songs.

“I’m lucky to move people with my work in a public way, because there are so many other incredible artists that deserve that. I’m standing tonight for singer-songwriters, especially women songwriters.”
