The Twist and Shout singer, 34, is set to continue her Love, Inc Tour later this year.

The Twist and Shout singer shared the mp3 file for the song on Thursday, teasing that it would be dropping later that evening.

She also chatted to fans on Twitch at 5pm, promising to announce where they could listen to the song.

Announcing the song on Thursday, Lizzo penned: “I like the demo version of this song more & I had ppl in my head saying it wasn’t ‘good enough’…

“But I’m learning it’s not about whats good enough, it’s about what I WANT.

“So if you like the DEMO more (which I do) here’s the full version of Still Bad… (Animal Style) 🦓🐆🦓

“This is a song I wrote 2 years ago and it’s one of my favorites.

“It’s coming out TONIGHT and I’m gonna be playing Among Us with y’all at 5pm on Twitch!”

The new single comes ahead of Lizzo’s upcoming album, Love In Real Life, which is due to be released this summer.

The album will mark her first since the musician and her production company were sued by ex-dancers Arianna Davis, Crystal Williams and Noelle Rodriguez, who made a number of claims, including allegations of sexual, religious and racial harassment.

At the time, the singer, 37, said the claims were “as unbelievable as they sound” and insisted she would “not let the good work I’ve done in the world be overshadowed by this”.

Her first single since the scandal, Love in Real Life, was released in February.

Fans speculated over her return to music after the Grammy Award-winner posted a video of her spray painting the words “bye bitch” on to a large printout of her album cover Special on Valentine’s Day.

Earlier in the month, it was reported she had told a Twitch stream about her plans, saying: “I’ve been working on new music for the last two years.”

In 2023 she released the song Pink, which featured on the Barbie movie soundtrack, and a remix of the song Special.

A month after the allegations in August 2023, similar claims were made against Lizzo by stylist Asha Daniels, who said she was subject to racial and sexual harassment and a hostile work environment while on tour with Lizzo.

A US judge dismissed the specific allegations against Lizzo.
