Heidiwood is the second studio album by American television personality and pop singer Heidi Montag. Released on May 30, 2025, through Pratt Productions, "Heidiwood" is Montag's first album release in fifteen years and reached the Top 10 on iTunes in 7 different countries, including the Top 5 in the United States. The official album artwork was shot by famed celebrity photographer Markus Klinko.
Heidiwood was preceded by the release of the singles "Wet Hot Summer", "Prototype", and "No Going Home" with the album's 4th and final single "Animal" released alongside the album.
Some tracks of Heidiwood were also included on Superficial 2: Heidiwood Edition, a 2025 reissue of her debut album Superficial (2010).
Background
Heidi Montag released her debut album Superficial in 2010, which was poorly received critically and commercially. Over the years, the project was revisited by many music critics and has gone on to develop somewhat of a cult following, with many people calling it "underrated" and stating how Montag's image at the time affected the album's reputation.[1][2][3]
In late 2023, the song "I'll Do It" went viral on the video-sharing TikTok, generating more than a billion impressions across social media and streaming platforms. The unexpected success of the song and the retrospective acclaim of Superficial inspired Montag to return to the studio and record her second album. The comeback single, "Wet Hot Summer", was released in June 2024, followed by a series of promotional singles including "5G", "Scandalous", "Any Excuse to Party" and "Go Harder".
In January 2025, Montag was affected by the Palisades Fire in Los Angeles, losing her home and belongings. To show support, fans started to buy and stream her album Superficial, while "I'll Do It" received a second wind and became viral again. She also released an anniversary edition for the album and another extra edition titled Superficial 2: Heidiwood Edition, which included twelve brand new tracks which were considered the first taste of the full Heidiwood album.[4]
Promotion
"Wet Hot Summer" was released on June 28, 2024, as the album's first single. It was produced by Lil Aaron and labeled as her "pop comeback", receiving positive reviews.[5] the second single "Prototype" was released as the second single on January 17, 2025. The song pokes fun at the criticism Montag has received for her plastic surgeries. The third single "No Going Home" was released on April 25, 2025, and recalls her experience losing her home in the 2025 California Wildfires. The fourth and final single "Animal" was released on May 30, 2025, alongside the album's release.
"5G" was released on September 13, 2024, as the album's first promotional single. A remix featuring 6arelyhuman was released on September 27, 2024, and an extended mix of the song was included on Heidiwood's tracklist. The songs "Scandalous", "Any Excuse to Party" and "Go Harder" were also released as promotional singles, with the latter coming out alongside the album's pre-order and announcement.
Montag further promoted the album with a series of performances at pride gigs and festivals, including Mighty Hoopla in London.[6]
