Nothing's About to Happen to Me is the upcoming eighth studio album by American singer-songwriter Mitski, set to be released on February 27, 2026, through Dead Oceans.[2]

Background

On January 13, 2026, Mitski began teasing her eighth studio album on Instagram in a series of posts. The first post shows Mitski in a kitchen cooking and a second post on January 14 had Mitski walking through a front door before throwing herself to the floor and whispering "nothing's about to happen to me", the album's title.[3] She later posted the album's release date on January 15 with a video of the numbers "22726" being typed into a calculator.[4] According to a press release, the album "finds Mitski immersing herself in a rich narrative whose main character is a reclusive woman in an unkempt house. Outside of her home, she is a deviant; inside of her home, she is free."[5]

Recording

Nothing's About to Happen to Me sees Mitski pick up where she left off musically on her previous studio album The Land is Inhospitable and So Are We. Mitski reunites with Patrick Hyland as producer and engineer, with the album featuring instrumentation from The Land touring band, composed of Callan Dwan, Jeni Magaña, Bruno Esrubilsky, Ty Bailie, Fats Kaplin, and Brijean Murphy.[6][7] Orchestra on the album was arranged and conducted by Drew Erickson with recording taking place at Sunset Sound and TTG Studios in Los Angeles. The album was mastered by Bob Weston.[8]

Promotion

Singles

"Where's My Phone?" was released as the first single alongside the announcement of Nothing's About to Happen to Me on January 16, 2026. Clash called the track a "fuzzed-out piece of anxiety-pop".[9] The music video for "Where's My Phone?", directed by Noel Paul, was inspired by the Shirley Jackson novel We Have Always Lived in the Castle where Mitski takes on the role of a paranoid woman in a gothic house who is trying to protect her sister.[10]

"I'll Change for You" debuted on BBC Radio 1's New Music Show with Jack Saunders on February 3, 2026 as the album's second single.[11] On the track, Mitski said she "wanted to write a song about being pathetic" and the irrational actions from a breakup like begging an ex to take you back.[11] Chris DeVille of Stereogum called the track "a gracefully resigned ballad that shows off Mitski's vocal prowess".[12] Alfie Sansom from Argus Far described the song as "a tale of desperation, marinated in red wine and self-pity, starting to spill over like a bath too full."[13] The music video for "I'll Change for You" was directed by Lexie Alley and it is "zeroing in on the chaotic, untidy Tansy House universe presented in the album’s photos by Alley" according to a press release.[14] Simultaneously, Mitski announced tour dates including multi-date residencies in New York City, Los Angeles and Sydney.[15]
