When Is The Album Release Date?
In February 2018, one of Louis' Twitter followers asked: "will we get the album in the first half of the year?"

We know Louis is just as excited to get the album out as we are to hear it!
Can’t wait for the day to finally release this album. It’s all I’ve been working towards over the last two years.

According to some fans, who met Louis in August, stated he apparently told them that the album was unlikely to come out in 2018, but that he's working to release at least one song before the end of the year.

What Is The Album Title?
Alright, we'll be honest... we're not too sure on this one.
Louis hasn't given anything away about the album's title just yet - but we'll update you when he does!
What Songs Are On The Album?
Louis hasn't confirmed what the album's tracklist will be, however he has posted a few clues about the songs on Twitter.
In February 2018, Louis tweeted: "'Took some time cos I've ran out of energy of playing someone I've heard I'm supposed to be '"

Louis confirmed this was from a lyric from a new song but responded to a fan question saying it wasn't the next single.
It's also a pretty big hint about why the album's taken longer than expected, if the singer is going for a different sound to One Direction.
I’m a perfectionist so things are taking a little longer. Few more songs to add! Believe me I’m as impatient as you all are ! Big love

Monthly thank you for all your patience . Believe me we’re getting close! Really excited about a couple of the new songs.

Whatever the tracklist is, it looks like it could be a long one. The singer has joked on Twitter that he wants to give fans value for money!
Will 'Just Hold On' And 'Back To You' Be On The Album?
We're not sure on this but 'Back To You' is likely to be on the album, as is latest single 'Miss You'.
Both album covers are in a similar style, suggesting they're all part of the same project.
'Just Hold On' is a less likely bet as it was released over a year ago now and, given it was a dance track with Steve Aoki, perhaps doesn't fit the vibe that Louis is going for on his debut album.
More writing today ! I know it’s taking longer than expected but it’s gonna be worth it !
