Lizzo announced on Tuesday (June 24) that her new mixtape My Face Hurts From Smiling will arrive on Friday, June 27 via Nice Life and Atlantic Records.
While she’s all smiles on the official artwork she shared on Instagram, Lizzo is also blissfully flipping the bird, with two yellow smiley face emotes covering up her cheeky gesture.
Lizzo also revealed the full track list, which includes two features: Doja Cat on “Still Can’t Fuh” and SZA on “IRL.” Last week, SZA teased that the two had something in the works, writing, “Working on a guest star for bookie @lizzobeeating’s new mixtape” during their “lil after-dinner session” on her Instagram Stories.
SZA also brought out Lizzo to perform “Special” during the first L.A. stop of her and Kendrick Lamar’s Grand National Tour last month. Their 2023 “Special” remix is the first collaboration between Lizzo and SZA, while “Still Can’t Fuh” marks the first collaboration between Lizzo and Doja. “I’m not kidding this is actually the most fye mixtape ever,” SZA wrote on her IG Story.
Prior to the announcement of My Face Hurts From Smiling, Lizzo confirmed in March that she had finished recording her fifth album Love in Real Life. The two singles that the Grammy-winning pop star released earlier this year, “Still Bad” and “Love in Real Life,” will be featured on the full-length project. She has yet to announce the release date for Love in Real Life. Lizzo hasn’t dropped a project since her 2022 Grammy-nominated album Special.
