And it’s led fans of the track to want to know more about the talented 24-year-old.
Lola started writing songs aged 11, and by 13 had competed in and won a national open mic competition.
She was a student at the famous Brit School in Croydon which counts Adele and Amy Winehouse has past pupils.
And fans might also recognise her voice from the 2021 John Lewis Christmas advert, named the Unexpected Guest.
Lola has also bagged a number one single – the first solo single from the youngest British female artist since Dua Lipa with ‘New Rules’ in 2017 – which is currently ranking in the Top 10 in the Billboard Global 200.
And she’s had sell-out UK and US tours, is set to make a debut appearance at Coachella, and been nominated for Best Pop Act at this year’s BRIT Awards.
But people are only just realising Lola has a famous aunt – none other than Julia Donaldson.
Julia, 76, is the author behind children’s book The Gruffalo and various other popular titles.

She’s a Scottish author, who used to write songs for children’s TV, and was the Children’s Laureate between 2011 and 2013, after she enjoyed her first major success in the late 90s.
The West Sussex resident was awarded an MBE in 2011 and her books are illustrated by Axel Scheffler.

But Lola has faced backlash over the fact that Julia is her famous auntie.
After discovering the family connection, one person took to X and wrote: “Hello aunty do you know anyone in creative media in which you also work and are very successful in.”
A second penned: “Feel like this woman appeared out of nowhere in the past few months so I had a Google. Her Auntie wrote ‘The Gruffalo’ and she went to the BRIT school. LOL. Same as it ever was.”
And another echoed: “Imagine you studied your craft at a performing arts school have been grinding for years as a singer, you finally get recognition & people are calling you a nepo monster because your aunt wrote “who is this creature with terrible claws and terrible teeth in his terrible jaws.”
Lola has referenced her “artistic family” in an interview in the past.
“Coming from an artistic family was really helpful because they understood that music is a real job, that I can make money from it. I never had a plan B,” she told The Telegraph.
