Fans celebrated the new single as a return to form and dubbed it "incredible."

Since releasing her album Special in 2023, Lizzo has faced major scandals, legal battles, and mental health struggles.

Last year, she told Kelly Clarkson that Don't Make Me Love U was inspired by her relationship with the public.

"It's like, don't make me love you if you're just gonna drag me the next day," she said. "Don't build this false sense of security and community if you're just gonna throw me away. It's so toxic."

In 2025, Lizzo released two singles: Love in Real Life and Still Down Bad. Her next album, Love in Real Life, is in the works, but so far there is no set a release date.
