American singer Teddy Swims has announced that his second studio album is set for release this January. The 33-year-old artist described the upcoming project as a personal time capsule capturing the events and growth of the past two years. Themes explored in the new music include his journey through fatherhood, his efforts to maintain a healthy work-life balance, and his personal development. Swims expressed that this collection is his most vulnerable work to date, and he hopes listeners will connect with the themes presented in his songs.

The project features previously released tracks such as Mr. Know It All, which recently reached the top three on the Dutch Top 40 charts. Following his appearance at the Pinkpop festival in Landgraaf earlier this year, the singer is preparing for his upcoming The UGLY Tour. As part of this tour, Swims is scheduled to perform three consecutive shows at the Ziggo Dome in Amsterdam from March 16 through March 18, 2027.
