- Multiple outlets reported Friday that she announced a lead single titled “hate that i made you love me” due May 29, though label confirmation has not been detailed in coverage.
- She officially unveiled the album on April 28 with black‑and‑white cover art and opened preorders across formats including CD, vinyl and cassette.
- The rollout built over months through quiet hints in a Vogue interview and an R.E.M. Beauty promo, a Brighter Days hotline message tied to the number eight, and a studio photo carousel.
- The July 31 release will land mid‑run on her Eternal Sunshine Tour, which starts June 6 in Oakland, setting up new songs to reach fans on the back half of the dates.
