After teasing fans on social media, Yungblud has finally announced that his brand new single, Strawberry Lipstick, will be released on 16th July.
The extravagant pop punk artist took to Twitter and left hints to fans that something exciting was to come on the 7th July. This left many to guess what the singer had up his sleeve, whether this may have been a new single or even a brand new album.
Yungblud, aka Dominic Harrison, continued to keep fans guessing until last evening (7th July) at 7:53pm when he eventually announced the news of his latest single. The announcement took place on the artist’s Twitter page with the caption ‘strawberry lipstick. out july 16th. it all fookin begins. are you ready?’ He then concluded the caption with two black hearts, a lipstick and a strawberry emoji, which some fans may recognise from a previous teaser tweet earlier that week.

The 22-year-old British singer has quickly risen to fame since his debut EP, Yungblud, was released in January 2018, followed by his debut album 21st Century Liability, released half a year later in July 2018. His second EP, The Underrated Youth, followed on a year later in October 2019 which took to the UK charts, reaching a peak position of no.6.
While spending lockdown in Los Angeles with his manager, guitarist and photographer, it has given the artist the perfect opportunity to record and produce new music. One of his latest singles, Weird, is very fitting to the current situation the world is living in. Speaking about the track on The Yungblud Show, he says ‘This song is about a really really weird time in my life where I couldn’t understand the world and I thought to myself that this could not be more of a right time to put it out.’ The single was released on 22nd April, amidst the centre of the COVID-19 pandemic.
While many have been affected by the current situation, fans can be hopeful of more new music to be released by the current rock artist from Doncaster, with just over one week to go before listening to Strawberry Lipstick.
