O My Beloved
About this Album
O My Beloved is the tenth studio album by Kings of Leon, due November 6, 2026 on Love Tap Records/Virgin Music. It has 13 tracks, opening with an intro.[1]
It is the first Kings of Leon album produced entirely by the band, following 2024's Can We Please Have Fun, which was made with Kid Harpoon.[1] The record took shape after Caleb Followill broke his foot playing tag with his children, which cancelled a run of European dates and led him to write quiet acoustic songs. The band shelved four or five heavier electric tracks in response.[1][2]
Followill has described the album as a look back on what the band has done, drawing on their families, childhood stories, and moments that did not seem significant at the time.[3] Its lead single is "My Whole World," released September 10, 2026.[2] The band launched the record with a surprise show at The Basement East in Nashville, where Zach Bryan guested on "Bowery."[2]
