Nothing’s About to Happen to Me Lyrics & Tracklist – Mitski

Album Overview

Nothing’s About to Happen to Me is an anticipated studio album by American singer-songwriter Mitski, scheduled for release January 16, 2026. The project marks the artist’s next major work following her 2023 album The Land Is Inhospitable and So Are We. During the promotional lead-up, Mitski cleared her social media feeds and shared cryptic teasers and imagery referencing the phrase “Nothing’s about to happen to me,” alongside a planned new single “Where’s My Phone?” tied to the release date. The rollout suggests an intentional artistic concept and build-up to the full record.

Mitski’s work is known for its introspective lyricism and diverse musical textures, blending elements of indie rock, art pop, and folk-inflected arrangements. While full production credits have not yet been publicly confirmed for this album, Mitski traditionally writes and performs her own material, often collaborating closely with producers and engineers who help shape her sonic palette.

Musical Style and Themes

This upcoming album is expected to continue Mitski’s exploration of emotional vulnerability and personal narrative, possibly deepening her sonic experimentation. Previous records have drawn on varied influences from sparse acoustic instrumentation to layered orchestral arrangements. Thematically, Mitski’s previous work frequently engages with identity, belonging, and emotional liminality, and fans anticipate that Nothing’s About to Happen to Me will further expand on these motifs.
