Cant help but wonder if L’s returning to the same haircut he had around the time he released Just Like You is a hint at what’s to come…
The whole “25 & it’s all planned” never fully made sense if it was about his age at the time because that’s when he was kind of waiting out his Syco stuff—however, if he really meant 2025, 15 years from start, he’s brilliant.
Wait…
"You'll never walk alone"
Just like you music video
For context. Louis is a Manchester United fan, I find it hard to believe with all the thought that went into this video that he would include one of their biggest rivals 'just because'

28 Days of Louis || Day 19: Louis + music videos (as of Oct 9th)
Hi sea, there’s always been a debate amongst the gp when discussing H and L about how ‘proud’ Louis is. I was wondering if you have any thoughts about Louis and his relationship with being seen as a gay man. I do know several former students from his school have reported consistent stories of him being quite mean to gay/more feminine boys to the point of bullying while he was a teenager. Are we looking at his actions through rose-tinted glasses by assuming he’s been proud and secure all along?
Hi!
I made a couple of posts, but will also link this excellent post by @rougeandtonic.
Every closeted person’s personal history is different, and they do evolve. Dan Howell talked about his transformation. Along the way, people can transform for the better or for worse, and can become more tolerant or less tolerant.
A closeted musician probably won’t go all out supporting LGBT causes, but we don’t see any lateralized homophobia in professional-musician-Louis-Tomlinson, and we see many, many instances of discreet support.
Fandom also tends to discuss Louis’ case as if he has full control and all that he does to show pride is by choice. I think this is very misleading. The Just Like You lyric video is brilliant performance art that shows, by virtue of its execution, the way that a closeted artist is held hostage by the homophobic industry (this idea was suggested to me by a mutual).
The graphics in the video are presented with cut-out magazine and newspaper clips like a kidnapper’s hostage note. The cut-outs of Louis are like paper dolls that can be shredded and disappeared.
The lyrics are presented this way as a riddle— a puzzle to solve. Louis, who loves crime shows and documentaries and Ronson’s A Psychopath Test (which started with an online puzzle), and conspiracies (lol), has presented a puzzle for us in this video, in which the communication and the news pieces are all about industry exploiting artists.
I don’t think someone with this hunger for communication is trying to hide his sexuality. Instead of rose-colored glasses, I think people who don’t see it are willfully ignoring it.
Let me be the same.
Did anyone notice the mindbender about the baby and sales right under the "Let me be the same"????
None of these articles are random. It’s not a coincidence. The overarching theme here is displaying the struggle of individuals who have been marginalized. Whether by race, sex, or sexual orientation, he’s giving voice to minorities.
Random shout-out to Louis
For all his music videos so far. All. So. Good.
