Album DescriptionAvailable in:
Megan is the third studio album by American rapper Megan Thee Stallion, released on June 28, 2024. It is Megan's first album to be released under her independent label Hot Girl Productions, after her departure from her former label 300 Entertainment and 1501 Certified. It is preceded by three singles: "Cobra", the US Billboard Hot 100 number-one single "Hiss", and "Boa". To promote the album, Megan embarked on the Hot Girl Summer Tour, her first headlining concert tour.
Background
On October 19, 2023, 1501 Certified revealed that the company and Megan Thee Stallion have mutually parted ways with each other. Shortly after, Megan clarified on an Instagram livestream, stating that her album would be self-funded and "the budget is coming from me". Conceptually, the album follows a snake-based theme and motif through the titles of the singles and the promotional material.
On October 23, Megan posted on her social media a teaser of her upcoming album stating "Just as a snake sheds it skin, we must shed our past, over and over again". On February 2, 2024, Megan signed a distribution deal with Warner Music Group which would allow her the creative control of an independent artist, but with access to the company's resources.
Release and promotion
On January 30, 2024, Megan Thee Stallion did an interview with Good Morning America, revealing that she planned to tour for that upcoming summer season. On March 20, Megan formally announced the Hot Girl Summer Tour which began May 14 in Minneapolis and is set to conclude August 1 in Chicago. Megan announced the album and its release at the first of two shows at the State Farm Arena in Atlanta, Georgia.

The second single, "Hiss", was released on January 26, 2024, alongside a music video also directed by Douglas Bernardt. "Hiss" debuted atop the Billboard Hot 100, becoming Megan's first solo chart-topping single and third overall.
