Background and promotion
In September 2024, Grennan released the song "Higher" as the lead single from his forthcoming fourth studio album.[9] For the making of the record, Grennan reached out to music producer Justin Tranter to help him explore a new sound, saying that in Tranter he found "a collaborator who understood exactly what he wanted to say and what he wanted to sound like", naming the likes of George Michael, Prince, and Freddie Mercury.[10] He described the theme of the record as "uplifting", "that makes you dance, makes you sing".[10]
In 31 January 2025, Grennan announced the details of his new album, and shared a brand-new song titled "Shadowboxing".[11][12] The song was chosen as the follow-up single because, according to Grennan, "It represents what the whole album is about." He went further stating that the record is "about self-belief and having the confidence to take risks".[13][14] "Shadowboxing" was the first song that Grennan and Tranter worked on together for the album.[15] Speaking on the meaning of the album, Grennan said: "[It] is about me, revived. Now I'm at a place where I DO want to be. And I'm ready to blow people's heads off."[13]
"Boys Don't Cry", "Full Attention", and "I Won't Miss a Thing" were released as the record's third, fourth and fifth singles respectively.[16][17][18][19][20] "Somewhere Only We Go" was released on 1 August 2025 as the sixth and final pre-release single.[1]
Tour
Alongside the details of the albums, Grennan announced his biggest tour to date, "Grennan '25 Tour", which will begin later on with a major 11-date arena tour of the UK and Ireland in September.[21][22][23]
