Megan is the third studio album by American rapper Megan Thee Stallion, released on June 28, 2024. It is Megan's first album to be released under her independent label Hot Girl Productions, after her departure from her former label 300 Entertainment and 1501 Certified. It is preceded by three singles: "Cobra", the US Billboard Hot 100 number-one single "Hiss", and "Boa". To promote the album, Megan embarked on the Hot Girl Summer Tour, her first headlining concert tour.

Background[edit]

On October 19, 2023, 1501 Certified revealed that the company and Megan Thee Stallion have mutually parted ways with each other.[1] Shortly after, Megan clarified on an Instagram livestream, stating that her album would be self-funded and "the budget is coming from me". Conceptually, based on the imagery and the single titles, the album reportedly follows a snake-based theme and motif.

On October 23, Megan posted on her social media a teaser of her upcoming album stating "Just as a snake sheds it skin, we must shed our past, over and over again". On February 2, 2024, Megan signed a distribution deal with Warner Music Group which would allow her the creative control of an independent artist, but with access to the company's resources.[2]

Release and promotion[edit]

On January 30, 2024, Megan Thee Stallion did an interview with Good Morning America, revealing that she planned to tour for that upcoming summer season.[3] On March 20, Megan formally announced the Hot Girl Summer Tour which began May 14 in Minneapolis and is set to conclude August 1 in Chicago.[4] Megan announced the album and its release at the first of two shows at the State Farm Arena in Atlanta, Georgia.

Singles[edit]

The album's lead single, "Cobra" was released on November 3, 2023, alongside a music video directed by Douglas Bernardt.[5] Five days later, Megan released a rock remix of "Cobra" with the Canadian-American alternative metal band Spiritbox.[6] The single debuted and peaked at number 32 on the US Billboard Hot 100.[7]

The second single, "Hiss", was released on January 26, 2024, alongside a music video also directed by Douglas Bernardt.[8] "Hiss" debuted atop the Billboard Hot 100, becoming Megan's first solo chart-topping single and third overall.[9] It also debuted at number one on the Billboard Global 200, making Megan the first female rapper in a lead role to debut atop the chart in history.[10]

The third single, "Boa", was released on May 10, 2024.[11] The track debuted at number 39 on the Billboard Hot 100, becoming the third top-40 single from the album.[12]
