The album will be available on January 16th
Platinum-selling multi-hyphenate creative force Madison Beer announces her next studio album, Locket, out via Epic Records on January 16th. Written and co-produced by Beer, the album also features production contributions from her longtime collaborators One Love, Lostboy, and Leroy Clampitt. Locket also includes the incendiary songs Beer has released so far in 2025 – “Bittersweet,” which is Beer’s fastest song to enter Top 40 radio, along with “Yes Baby.”
With Locket, Beer had the album title in mind right from the start of the writing process. Much like its namesake, Locket is a mosaic of memories and experiences with Beer at the helm, creatively fusing pop soundscapes. Showcasing Beer’s growth as a writer, singer, and producer, Locket features some of the most vocally dynamic songs of her career.
Says Beer, “After writing the album, it feels like each song lives within this metaphorical locket for safekeeping. Each album feels like an era and once the albums are out in the world, the chapter for me, usually with what I wrote about, is closed.”
This news follows the release of a brilliant “Bittersweet” music video out earlier this week, written by Beer and co-directed by Beer and Iris Kim. A fresh perspective on heartbreak, the video opens to a breakup between Beer and her on-screen partner, played by actor Sean Kaufman (The Summer I Turned Pretty). Just as sadness begins to settle in, fireworks erupt overhead and a full-scale parade takes over, celebrating Beer’s newfound freedom.
“Bittersweet” was featured in Beer’s showstopping performance at the iconic annual Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show in New York City last week. The show’s YouTube livestream peaked at 2.5 million viewers during her performance, and shortly after, Madison skyrocketed to the No. 1 trending person on Twitter worldwide. “Bittersweet” has become Beer’s fastest song to enter the Top 40 on US pop radio.
Last month, Beer wrapped a trilogy of dance-pop hits with her first new song of 2025 – “Yes Baby,” alongside a fierce music video, created and co-directed by Beer and director Aerin Moreno. It quickly surpassed one million Spotify streams in its first 24 hours.
