Background

Earlier in 2025, Webb had shared "Mind Reader", a collaboration with Meghan Trainor. [1] Alongside the release of the lead single "Love Language", she announced her second studio album titled Confessions. Speaking about the track, Webb described it as "my first step into this new era", adding that she had "never been more nervous or excited to share a piece of music", and that its sound and aesthetic were "so new and different"for her. [2] The album, written and produced between Los Angeles and London, follows her 2023 debut Amelia . [3] [4] Reflecting on its creation, Webb explained: "I dug deep and figured out what I want to say not just as an artist, but as a person. I decided to be brutally honest. It's easy to be like, 'Everything is wonderful'—even when there's so much happening behind the curtain. I wanted to open up and scream, 'This is who I am!'." [3] [5] Regarding the album, she added, "I am so proud of this album. Confessions has helped me grow both as a person and as an artist. The themes I was able to explore through these songs taught me so much about myself and gave me real confidence. I'm also incredibly proud of the creative side of this record – every video, every photoshoot holds so much of me. This project, as a whole, is the most authentically 'me' thing I've ever done." [6]

Composition

According to Hot Press , Webb has described herself as believing in "the power of the universe", a perspective that informs the themes of Confessions. The album has been characterized as Webb telling her truth about the "Mimi-verse" and wearing her heart on her sleeve. [7]

Songs

Webb described "You Don't Look at Me the Same" as "the most vulnerable song I've ever released". [8] She explained that it was written from the perspective of a child observing two loved ones grow apart, and said the process of writing the song was therapeutic, hoping it would bring comfort and understanding to listeners. [9] For "I Met a Boy", she noted it as one of the more unique tracks on the album, noting its R&B influences and its relatability to experiences of unrequited attraction. [10]

Promotion

Singles

The album's lead single, "Love Language", was released on 6 June 2025. [2] The second single, "You Don't Look at Me the Same", was released on August 21. [9] "I Met a Boy", followed shortly before the album's release, was accompanied by a music video directed by Avesta Keshtmand. [10] [11]

To support the album, Webb will embark on The Confessions Tour across the United Kingdom and Europe from September 29 to October 7, 2025, [9] [3] [12] with Grace Gachot joining as the opening act for the UK and Ireland dates. [10]
