"When a life of excess leads you on a rollercoaster that is doomed to crash but you just can’t see it." The Pretty Reckless announce fifth album Dear God, share new single When I Wake Up, and reveal world tour itinerary

The Pretty Reckless have announced details of their forthcoming fifth studio album, Dear God.

The 14-track album will be released on June 26 via Fearless Records, and will include 2025 single For I Am Death, the band's first new material since 2021's Death By Rock And Roll album.

To whet appetites for the new album, the New York quartet have today shared a second single from the record, When I Wake Up.

Speaking about the new single, frontwoman Taylor Momsen says, "When I Wake Up is the story of a dream becoming a nightmare. When a life of excess leads you on a rollercoaster that is doomed to crash but you just can’t see it. It’s a good time…"

Speaking to Kerrang! in December, Momsen said, "I feel like we're in a really good place. I'm in a good place personally, we're in a really good place as a band, and I'm very excited for the future. There's also so much more to come in the next 12 months that I can't wait for, and I can't really talk about yet, but this is kind of just the beginning."

The band's new album is hailed by Fearless Records as "one of the band’s most raw and uncompromising records yet", and described as the work of a band embracing "vulnerability, intensity and artistic freedom".

The tracklist is:

1. Life Evermore Pt. 2
2. For I Am Death
3. When I Wake Up
4. Love Me
5. Dragonfire
6. Dear God
7. Life Evermore Pt. 3
8. About You
9. Spell On You
10. Rollercoaster of Life
11. Eye of the Storm
12. Devil in Disguise (Michelle’s Song)
13. Dark Days
14. Life Evermore Pt. 1
