Megan Thee Stallion officially announced her third studio album, Megan, along with the cover art and and release date, June 28. Megan will mark Megan Thee Stallion’s first album since Traumazine, released in August 2022.

The rapper dropped the news on social media, writing: “SURPRISE HOTTIESSSS!!!! My New Album ‘MEGAN’ will be coming out JUNE 28 PRE-SAVE NOW!’” She also posted the album’s cover art which depicts a naked Megan inside a cocoon and hanging upside with a giant “M” embossed over the artwork. Megan will be releasing the album through her own ‘Hot Girl’ imprint in partnership with Warner Music Group, allowing the 29-year-old to own her master recordings and have complete creative control while using WMG’s distribution and marketing infrastructure.

Megan has previously released a trio of snake-themed tracks from the album, including “Cobra,”“Hiss” and “BOA.” In a recent interview with L’Officiel, she explained: “We started with the snake because, first of all, I love snakes, but I feel like snakes are so misunderstood, especially in Western culture. Snakes represent rebirth, spirituality. I’m not someone who says, ‘Oh my God, sunshine and happiness.’ I like darker things. I like things that are a little scary. I like unique things. I chose the snake because… it’s a kind of anti-hero. We don’t just stop at the snake. It’s what everyone sees right now. Renewal, rebirth — that’s the whole concept of the album.”
