US singer-songwriter Teddy Swims has dropped his highly-anticipated new album, I’ve Tried Everything But Therapy (Part 2).

Following on from his 2023 debut, the Grammy-nominated artist’s new record, released via Warner Records, includes the lead single, “Bad Dreams,” as well as collaborations with big names like GIVĒON, GloRilla and Muni Long.

“This album is a continuation of Part 1,” Swims said.

“I’ve been evolving, growing, and healing in so many ways since the first one! On the last album, I felt as if it just left you with so much heartbreak and no resolve. Of course, there is still heartbreak on Part 2, but I believe we’ve given just a little more closure this time around!”

Part one of Swims’ debut album dropped in September 2023 following four EP releases between 2021 and 2022, which was a huge success, charting at #4 in Australia and #6 in New Zealand. He later graced local shores in July with a number of headline shows. Check out this Rolling Stone AU/NZ exclusive look at his Sydney performance here.

Swims first rose to fame with his YouTube covers – including Michael Jackson’s “Rock With You” and Shania Twain’s “You’re Still The One” — which led to a record deal with Warner Records in 2019.

Swims blew up with 2023 single “Lose Control” which earned Platinum certification in Australia, with over 20 million streams and peaked at #7 on the ARIA single charts. It also dominated the airwaves in New Zealand, securing Platinum status and landing at #4 on the official NZ singles chart.

Looking ahead, the Georgia star will head to the 2025 Grammys in Los Angeles next week where he is up for Best New Artist amongst a competitive field that includes Sabrina Carpenter, Chappell Roan, RAYE, Benson Boone, Doechii, Khruangbin and Shaboozey.

He’ll then kick off a world tour in Germany the following week, which will include stops at Chile, Argentina and Brazil for Lollapalooza.
