Background

In February 2025, Lizzo began teasing a new album and accompanying singles by bidding goodbye to her previous album, Special. Additionally, the artist held a Twitch stream on Valentine's Day that same month teasing new music.

On June 24, 2025, Lizzo announced her mixtape, titled My Face Hurts from Smiling on June 27. It marked her first solo project since her fourth studio album, Special (2022). She shared the official artwork, which features Lizzo smiling with middle fingers, that are covered by smiley faces, jean shorts, and a white shirt with smiley faces on Lizzo's breasts. She shared the mixtape's tracklist of 13 tracks, including collaborations with SZA and Doja Cat.

Critical reception

In a mixed review, Robin Murray of Clash, wrothe that although My Face Hurts from Smiling is "impactful" it "doesn’t stick around. A mixtape that lacks a degree of depth", pointing that "an artist who can’t quite connect with the audience she built. It’s reminiscent of Lizzo’s early work, undeniably talented, you’re left wondering if those who fell for her flute-twerking cavalcade will succumb to this".
