“This is the record where I feel really comfortable with it. And I felt really comfortable making it,” Tomlinson said
The former One Direction star took the stage with his band to deliver a pulsating rendition of Imposter, a track that leans into themes of identity and self‑doubt while highlighting a more melodic side of his music. The performance featured striking lighting and a full band setup that brought the song’s energy to life for the television audience.
Tomlinson also sat down with host Jimmy Fallon to discuss the creation of his third solo album, “How Did I Get Here?”, out this week. He talked about finally feeling comfortable with the record, admitting, “This is the record where I feel really comfortable with it. And I felt really comfortable making it.” The relaxed and reflective conversation underscored the personal journey he’s taken to this point in his solo career.
Written in Costa Rica with collaborators Nico Rebscher and Dave Gibson, Imposter explores the idea of imposter syndrome and questions of self‑worth, with Tomlinson describing the song as “probably the most melodic moment on the record.”
In addition to the live performance and interview, Tomlinson has been engaging fans with playful promotional Easter eggs for the album rollout, even unintentionally stirring up speculation among other pop fan communities along the way.
With How Did I Get Here? now released and a world tour on the horizon, Tomlinson’s appearance on Fallon marked a major milestone in what many are calling one of his most confident artistic periods yet.
