My Ego Told Me To Lyrics & Tracklist – Leigh-Anne Pinnock
Album Overview
My Ego Told Me To is the debut full-length studio album by English singer Leigh-Anne Pinnock, known mononymously as Leigh-Anne, formerly of the pop group Little Mix. Slated for release on 20 February 2026, the album marks her first major project as an independent artist after departing her former label and signing a distribution deal with Virgin Music Group. The record has been positioned as a personal and genre-fluid work that blends elements of pop with reggae, dancehall, R&B, and Caribbean influences rooted in her heritage, while maintaining a broadly accessible sonic palette.
The project follows the release of multiple singles — “Been a Minute,” “Burning Up,” “Dead and Gone,” and “Most Wanted” featuring guest appearances — that helped articulate Leigh-Anne’s artistic identity outside the framework of her previous group. According to press commentary, the album encapsulates themes of self-identity, empowerment, and the artist’s navigation of personal relationships and professional autonomy.
Musical Style and Themes
My Ego Told Me To has been described as versatile and difficult to confine within one genre classification. The work draws from Leigh-Anne’s Caribbean background with rhythmic influences and production that nod to reggae and dancehall, layered over contemporary pop and R&B frameworks. Lyrically, it addresses transformation, self-assertion, and emotional clarity, reflecting both personal narratives and broader explorations of autonomy and resilience.
Critics and announcements leading up to the album release highlighted how the tracks blend danceable grooves with reflective moments, creating a dynamic emotional and musical arc across the record’s 15 tracks.
Release Information
The album is scheduled for global release on 20 February 2026. It will be made available across digital streaming platforms, digital download, CD, vinyl, and other physical formats via Virgin Music Group. Its release coincides with a supporting tour named after the album, with scheduled UK and European dates in April 2026.
