I mean, the last time Liam released a song of his own, it was a pretty big hit (Familiar). Quite why it's taken so long to follow that up (or even Polaroid, that's approaching a year old) is baffling.
This song really isn't doing it for me still  I kinda cringe at it oops

They may just go with the album so he can have a solo album to his credentials but the interest will be minimal going on the success of the recent singles.
It is disappointing, as Louis started out strong with his solo music, Just Hold On is in my Top 3 Best solo songs from One Direction. |

It's interesting how Louis won the public vote for 'Choice Song: Male Artist' for Two of Us at the Teen Choice Awards this year beating Lil Nas X, Khalid, Shawn Mendes, Travis Scott and Post Malone!
And last year he won 'Choice Male Artist' beating Drake, Niall Horan, Bruno Mars, Shawn Mendes and Ed Sheeran! He has a strangely large fanbase but doesn't seem to connect with the public

I mean, that shouldn't be shocking considering One Direction are known for their huge fanbase!
 The others all benefit too.

Hi, Louis Tomlinson fan here. I've just been observing on this forum for a while and never felt the need to reply until now. I don't think people on here are very aware of fan dynamics. Louis by far has the biggest solo fanbase from not only 1D, but other well known artists too. It is not something that every member of one direction shares. Hence why he won against all the other members for a MTV EMA, with the most combined votes for any category - Louis tweeted about this himself. There is not a lack of demand for his music from a fan perspective. He trended no.1 on twitter and tumblr, with almost a million tweets on the former about TOU's release. Something that only kpop fandoms achieve nowadays. Here's comparison with Camila Cabello recently.
 Without trying to sound like a conspiracy theorist, he has absolutely no label support from Sony. His songs haven't performed because in 4 years, he has done a maximum of 4 weeks promotion which has been limited to UK local radio stations since BTY. There is also major complications with his radio promotion team. Fans have resorted to sending gift packs to radio stations to help with promotion.  We're waiting for him to leave Sony. Anyone who is aware of his situation will know its none of his own doing. If you're interested, he just performed 4 new songs for his first solo headline show at CCME. Check them out. |

Being from a successful group doesn't guarantee smashes especially when the material isn't always 10/10. Get Low and Bedroom Floor were cute hits, For You was big, Familiar and Polaroid were solid hits too. Louis has had two big hits under his belt (and flops since then). |

Many people expect when you come from a big band that hits are guaranteed which we have seen does not happen over and over again.
They have each secured bonifide hits to their credit. The fanbase of a band does not always follow all the solo careers and in many cases the fan base each have a favourite member and they only follow the career of that member and not the others. Looking at it from that view would see the fanbase divided by 5 and then you must include some that don't follow any member in a solo career. |
