In August 2025, Keli Holiday released "Dancing2", the lead single from his second studio album. Hyde said "This album feels like the first Keli Holiday offering that is true to who I am. It explores themes of longing for more, finding love in a crowded room, and the union of sex. I have spent the majority of my days since the birth of Keli Holiday focusing on what I want to say, how I want to say it, and what I want it to sound like."[8] It came second in the 2025 Triple J Hottest 100.[9]
On 7 November 2025, Keli Holiday released "Ecstasy" and announced the forthcoming release of Capital Fiction.[10]
