Background and themes

Miguel has described Caos as emerging from a period of personal transformation. In his words: "To rebuild, I had to destroy myself. That is the core confrontation of Caos. Through my personal evolution, I learned that transformation is violent. Caos is the sonic iteration of me bending that violence into something universally felt." [1] The album title — Spanish for “chaos” — underscores his exploration of disorder, rebirth, emotional turbulence, and existential themes. [2] He has also said that Caos represents a more aggressive, boundary-pushing sonic direction, stepping beyond purely R&B into darker, more experimental textures. [3]

Release and promotion

Caos is scheduled for release on October 23, 2025, through RCA Records. That date coincides with Miguel’s 40th birthday, adding symbolic resonance to the rollout. [4] The announcement of the release was made in early September 2025, along with the debut of the title single on his own platform. [4] As part of the Caos movement, Miguel released several promotional singles. "RIP", released on September 29, 2025, features cover art inspired by the Afro-Mexican Danza de los Diablos, aligning with the album's themes of cultural identity and resistance. [5]
