Bigger Than Me (Louis Tomlinson song)

Bigger Than Me is a song by English singer-songwriter Louis Tomlinson, released on September 1, 2022, as the lead single from his second studio album, Faith in the Future (2022). The song is a pop-rock track with elements of Britpop and is characterized by its anthemic chorus and themes of personal growth, self-doubt, and facing overwhelming challenges. Lyrically, the song reflects on Tomlinson's feelings of uncertainty and responsibility following the disbandment of One Direction and the subsequent pressure to live up to expectations as a solo artist. It describes a moment of realization that certain situations and decisions are beyond one's individual control and power, hence "bigger than me." The song was co-written by Tomlinson with Julian Bunetta, Jamie Hartman, and Ollie Green, with production handled by Bunetta and Green. The release of "Bigger Than Me" was accompanied by a lyric video and was followed by a music video later in September 2022.
