Lana Love has built her 2025 on honesty—about the music industry, about relationships, and about herself. Her art isn’t about polish or perfection; it’s about showing the cracks and calling them beautiful. That ethos comes to a head on SORRY I’M HUMAN (Sparta/Warner Music Group), her latest EP that closed out a six-month creative cycle that’s pulled her back into the music business. 

In that half-year sprint, Love dropped three singles—one of them, “LOST BOYZ. (feat. Ghostface Killah),” broke into the Top 100 at Pop Radio, proving her unfiltered storytelling could cut through mainstream noise. “LOST BOYZ was born from real emotion—frustration, disappointment, strength,” Love says. “Having Ghostface on the track gave the message extra weight. He didn’t just show up—he showed out. That meant a lot.” 

The EP’s release was marked with an appearance on iHeart Radio’s Most Requested Live with Romeo, a slot previously occupied by global stars like Dua Lipa and OneRepublic. For Love, the platform wasn’t about competition—it was about clarity. “I’ve always used art as a mirror,” she reflects. “This year, that mirror reflected some of the contradictions and cracks within the industry. I’m playful because I love what I do, but I’m also willing to hold up uncomfortable truths when necessary.” 

SORRY I’M HUMAN feels like a thesis statement—an embrace of flaws, masks shed, and vulnerability reframed as power. “It’s an invitation to see imperfection as beautiful,” Love says. “We all wear masks—this project is about taking them off, even if it’s messy. Especially if it’s messy.”
