Background

On January 13, 2026, Mitski began teasing her eighth studio album on Instagram in a series of posts. The first post shows Mitski in a kitchen cooking and a second post on January 14 had Mitski walking through a front door before throwing herself to the floor and whispering "nothing's about to happen to me", the album's title. [2] She later posted the album's release date on January 15.[ citation needed ] The lead single for the album, "Where's My Phone?", was released on January 16, 2026. According to a press release, the album "finds Mitski immersing herself in a rich narrative whose main character is a reclusive woman in an unkempt house. Outside of her home, she is a deviant; inside of her home, she is free." [3]

Recording

Nothing's About to Happen to Me sees Mitski pick up where she left off musically on her previous studio album The Land is Inhospitable and So Are We . Mitski reunites with Patrick Hyland as producer and engineer, with the album featuring instrumentation from The Land touring band, composed of Callan Dwan, Jeni Magaña, Bruno Esrubilsky, Ty Bailie, Fats Kaplin, and Brijean Murphy. [4] [5] Orchestra on the album was arranged and conducted by Drew Erickson with recording taking place at Sunset Sound and TTG Studios in Los Angeles. The album was mastered by Bob Weston. [6]

Promotion

Singles

"Where's My Phone?" was released as the first single alongside the announcement of Nothing's About to Happen to Me on January 16, 2026. Clash called the track a "fuzzed-out piece of anxiety-pop". [7] The music video for "Where's My Phone?", directed by Noel Paul, was inspired by the Shirley Jackson novel We Have Always Lived in the Castle where Mitski takes on the role of a paranoid woman in a gothic house who is trying to protect her sister.
