Young has been teasing the track for several days, sharing clips from the song's video on Instagram. 'D£aler' follows 'Not Like That Anymore' and the viral 'One Thing,' which came months into the breakthrough success of Young's track 'Messy.' The new song comes as she continues a festival run in Europe, with visits to Norway, Sweden, Finland, and Portugal next month.
'I wanted to make a song and music video that is thought-provoking and highlights sex being both a fun and light thing, not always meaningful, as well as showing how gender roles can be reversed,' Young said about 'One Thing' on Instagram, later adding, 'The album that is coming soon has some deeeeeep ones tho don't you worry.'
Earlier this year, Young told Rolling Stone that I'm Only Fucking Myself, out Sept. 19, will have something for everyone. 'The new album is going to be a lot more about my personal struggle and less so about love,' she said. 'There's some real bangers on there. I can't say too much, but I can say that this feels like a step up.'
After releasing her album in September, Young will embark on a headlining tour through North America, stopping by venues like New York's Terminal 5, Nashville's The Pinnacle, Seattle's WAMU Theater, and Los Angeles' Hollywood Palladium.

Foo Fighters have announced that Ilan Rubin will be joining them as their new drummer, while Josh Freese will return to Nine Inch Nails. Rubin had been a touring member of Nine Inch Nails since 2009 and holds the distinction of being the youngest inductee into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2020 at age 32.

'Nothing beats a Jet2 holiday': Mariah Carey, Jeff Goldblum and more stars jump on trend
A new song of the summer has hit the charts – and no, it's not a Chappell Roan or Sabrina Carpenter tune. Instead, it's a breezy, British anthem that insists your summer fling should be with, of all things, a Jet2Holiday. The discount airfare line has recently found itself the subject of virality, as users post their vacation and life mishaps online to the soundtrack of a 2024 ad promoting the company's discounted flights. "Nothing beats a Jet2 Holiday," the ad promises as British singer Jess Glynne's 2015 song "Hold My Hand" blasts in the background. Even celebrities have been eager to hop on the trend, with stars like Mariah Carey and Jeff Goldblum parodying the ad. Social media users are proving why nothing beats a Jet2 holiday. What's that? Goldblum, known for his own TV ad campaigns, joined in the fun, posting a TikTok with a remixed voice-over, swapping "Jet2" for "Jeff2." Fans were delighted, with one commenting: "If Jeff Goldblum isn't greeting me at the gate in sunglasses and a silk shirt, is it even a Jeff2 holiday?" Nothing beats a Jeff2 holiday #jeffirmations #holdmyhand Carey, on the other hand, used the trend to announce her performance at Brighton Pride in the United Kingdom, posting a TikTok of her boarding a plane to the viral sound accompanied by the caption "Nothing beats going to Brighton Pride!!" Jet2, no doubt happily basking in the unexpected free press, commented below Carey's post: "We belong together." Nothing beats going to Brighton Pride!! 🏳️🌈💋 That the "Obsessed" singer was boarding a private jet in her video butts up against the ethos of the trend, which has connected social media users worldwide about everything from budget airfare to hilarious travel plans gone wrong. The ad's song has even been remixed by some on the internet, with a soca version dominating recent videos and a New Orleans bounce remix as the background to multiple dance videos. Singer slams Trump administration for using her song to promote deportations Glynn also spoke out earlier this week about another group clearly not in on the joke: the Trump administration. When the White House's official Instagram shared a post on July 30 celebrating the Trump admin's mass deportation efforts to the tune of "Hold My Hand," Glynn was quick to shoot them down. The video, which showed people being escorted out of a van and marched onto a plane with their hands and ankles handcuffed, was accompanied by the caption: "When ICE books you a one-way Jet2 holiday to deportation. ✈️🎶 Nothing beats it!" Though federal agents' faces are blurred, the detainees' faces are not. In response, Glynn wrote in an Instagram story: "This post honestly makes me sick. My music is about love, unity, and spreading positivity – never about division or hate."

Netflix just made a key new hire as it doubles down on its global ad ambitions
Netflix wants to mature its ad business from infancy to " Adolescence," and the company just made a key international hire to help boost sales. The streamer recently hired Ed Couchman to lead its UK advertising sales team, Netflix confirmed to Business Insider. Couchman is set to join Netflix later this year from Spotify, where he had been head of advertising sales for the UK and Northern Europe since 2023. He is a familiar face on the UK advertising scene, with experience in both traditional and digital media. Before joining Spotify in 2023, Couchman previously held senior UK-based ad sales roles at Snap, Meta, and the British broadcaster Channel 4. Spotify declined to comment. Couchman will report to Damien Bernet, Netflix's VP of EMEA advertising, and will replace Warren Dias, whose exit from Netflix was announced in May. Dias had been in the role for two years. Netflix said during its second-quarter earnings this month that it was on track to "roughly double" its ad revenue in 2025, having also doubled its annual ad revenue last year. Execs on the earnings call said they were encouraged by the rollout of its in-house adtech stack in all the markets in which it sells ads, and by advertiser interest in live events. Those include comedy specials, wrestling, and boxing events. Netflix co-CEO Greg Peters said on the call that interactive ad formats and generative AI would also help open up new areas of ad growth. Netflix doesn't break out its advertising revenue in its financials. The ads plan initially launched in several markets worldwide, including the UK, in November 2022. The streamer said in June its ad-supported tier had reached 94 million monthly active users. Netflix has already made some headway in the UK ad market. June data from Barb, which measures TV ratings, found Netflix had the biggest share of 16- to 34-year-old viewers — a key demographic for advertisers — among all the commercial video-on-demand services in the country. Separate data from the UK communications regulator Ofcom found that Netflix was the most popular video-on-demand service in the UK in 2024, with viewers watching for an average of 22 minutes per day. Spotify's advertising unit is undergoing challenges aside from Couchman's departure. The music streaming service recently parted ways with its ad sales chief, Lee Brown, who is joining DoorDash as its chief revenue officer. Spotify said this week that its ad business hadn't met the company's growth expectations and that it was the right time for a leadership change.
