Cabe recordar que la última vez que Louis Tomlinson estuvo en España lo hizo en 2020 —tan solo unos días previos a declararse una emergencia sanitaria a nivel mundial por la pandemia de COVID-19— en La Riviera, con un aforo de poco más de 2.500. Por tanto, multiplicar por diez en dos años la capacidad de asistencia es todo una hazaña.
[It is worth remembering that the last time Louis Tomlinson was in Spain he did so in 2020 – just a few days before a global health emergency was declared due to the COVID-19 pandemic – in La Riviera, with a capacity of just over 2,500. Therefore, multiplying attendance capacity tenfold in two years is quite a feat.]

“I think I would — don’t get me wrong I feel like I’ve built up a certain identity with Faith In The Future and that’s really important to me, but there will be an element of this album that will feel — I want to be a little bit braver sonically. I think Faith In The Future feels like an evolution of Walls which I think is great, it would be nice to introduce just some slightly different sounds than what I’ve done right now. In terms of specifics, I don’t really know, but I’m trying to keep an open mind in terms of how this record might sound.”
-Louis on if there’s any new sounds he’d like to explore. (4 April 2024)
It was to have the luxury of a bit of space in my brain and a bit of time to digest what the next record might look like. That helped me a lot. There was an element of— when I first made my first record, even though it took a long time— I felt like I was constantly against the clock. It was a nice feeling to be able to have enough time to have a bit of a bird’s eye view of Faith In The Future and what that might be. As a whole, the most important thing to me was that the whole thing felt positive. The title, Faith In The Future, came before I had written any of the other songs. that was the intention, just to make everything feel a little lighter, a little bit more positive.
