That roots-music spirit adds new texture to the raw emotional honesty that has defined Lukas Graham’s career. The GRAMMY-nominated Danish soul-pop artist first achieved global fame with the 2015 breakout hit “7 Years” — a reflective ballad that earned three GRAMMY nominations, topped charts in more than 15 countries, and placed him among the first 25 artists in Spotify’s Billions Club. Over the past decade, he has built a multi-platinum international career spanning four albums, with hits including “Love Someone,” certified platinum in 18 countries. His work blends soul, pop, and deeply personal storytelling, exploring themes of family, love, and resilience — from the loss of his father to becoming one himself.
“The sound of the song reminds me of coming all the way back home, reconnecting with the songwriting tradition and the instruments that formed the soundtrack of my childhood.” — Lukas Graham
Lukas Graham’s new single “To Know A Girl” is out today via Virgin Music Group, marking a return to the folk-driven storytelling and acoustic instrumentation that shaped his earliest musical identity, informed by the Irish musical traditions that influenced his upbringing. 
Emerging from Christiania—the free-spirited Copenhagen community where he grew up—Lukas was surrounded by touring folk musicians who passed through his family home, bringing with them the Irish musical traditions his father loved. “To Know A Girl” channels that atmosphere directly, offering a sense of coming home and reconnecting with something essential. The track also serves as an early glimpse of his forthcoming album arriving this summer, reflecting a renewed focus on the narrative style and musical roots that continue to define his work.
