Background and development
Estrus was recorded across sessions in Los Angeles, Stockholm, and a small Swedish village where Lo spent part of her childhood.[1] During the album's early development in late 2024, she struggled to write material that felt authentic, explaining that she was "in the middle of some kind of personal metamorphosis" and found it difficult to express herself creatively. She later resumed her work on the project in the secluded Swedish village with producer Ludvig Söderberg, where they worked without distractions and began shaping the album's direction.[2]
"Estrus is an animal in heat. It's primal, contradicting emotional chaos. It's my mind and my body wanting different things, wanting everything."
— Lo, about the album's name Estrus[3]
The title of Estrus derives from the biological term for a reproductive cycle in mammals, which she used to frame the record's instinctive and feminine perspective. Lo described Estrus's concept as being driven by conflicting emotional and physical desires, and added that the album offers "a lot of feelings, no solutions". She created the project primarily with collaborators, including Söderberg, Elvira Anderfjärd, and Luka Kloser, while Belgian musician Stromae appears as a featured artist.[4]

Lo announced her sixth studio album, Estrus, on 11 May 2026, sharing its cover artwork and track listing.[3] Same day, she also unveiled its lead single, "I'm Your Girl Right?";[5] it was released on 13 May along with its Nogari-directed music video that was filmed in São Paulo with 70 dancers.[1][6] In support of the album, she will embark on its accompanying tour, which is set to began on September 15 in Nashville at the Pinnacle and conclude on November 19 at Avicii Arena.[7] Mallrat (North America), Rose Gray (UK and Europe), and Cobrah (Brooklyn) will serve as a supporting act of the tour.[a]
