Megan Thee Stallion Unveils Artwork and Release Date for Her New Album ‘MEGAN’

On Sunday, June 2, Megan Thee Stallion revealed that her third studio album, MEGAN, will be available on streaming platforms starting June 28 through Hot Girl Productions. This announcement came during a rescheduled concert in Atlanta at the State Farm Arena, where she also shared the album artwork and a pre-save link with her fans.

Originally, the Atlanta show was set for May 31 but had to be postponed due to a citywide water main break. “I’m extremely disappointed because I had a huge surprise for the Hotties tonight, but we will follow the Mayor’s protocol,” Megan wrote on Twitter.

The delay turned out to be worthwhile. The album cover features a semi-transparent “M” and a large cocoon with Megan emerging from it upside down. While some fans found the creative direction puzzling, with one even commenting, “How [did] you go from a snake to a butterfly?” others found it fitting considering the album’s theme of “renewal.”

In an interview with L’Officiel, Megan explained the concept further:

“We started with the snake because I feel like snakes are so misunderstood, especially in Western culture. They represent rebirth [and] spirituality. I like darker things [and] things that are a little scary. I picked the snake because it’s kind of like an antihero.”

Megan also shared that she’s experimenting with different musical styles on this album. “This is music I would like if I wasn’t Megan Thee Stallion,” she told the magazine. “I’m just tapping into other sounds, but it’s still very much Megan Thee Stallion. It won’t feel like I went so left. It’ll feel true to me.”

The Grammy-winning artist previously released “Cobra” in November 2023, followed by the hit “HISS” in January 2024. She continued the momentum with May’s “BOA,” which was accompanied by a video game-inspired visual.
