Gg bb xx (stylized in all lowercase) is the fourth studio album by American pop band LANY. Released on September 11, 2021 through Side Street Entertainment and Polydor Records, it serves as a follow-up to their third studio album, Mama's Boy (2020). It is the band's final album to feature keyboardist and guitarist Leslie Priest, who left the band the following year.[5] The album was produced by Andrew Goldstein, John Ryan, and LANY.

The album was preceded by five singles. "Dancing in the Kitchen" was released as the lead single on June 25, 2021. A second single, "Up to Me", was released on July 15 along with a B-side, a demo of the album's fourth track "DNA". Two more promotional singles, "Never Mind, Let's Break Up" and "Roll Over, Baby", were each released in August while a music video for the song "Ex I Never Had" was released on September 2. In support of the album, LANY will embark on the gg bb xx Tour taking place in the United States, United Kingdom, and Canada.

Background and recording

After wanting to record an album that was rooted in Southern country music, used more live instrumentation and was inspired by frontman Paul Klein's upbringing in Oklahoma, LANY released their third studio album, Mama's Boy on October 2, 2020.[6] Due to the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States, the band were unable to tour to support the album. This resulted in the trio facing the decision to either take a break or start writing and recording sessions for a fourth studio album.[7]

In December 2020, Klein began writing material for a fourth album which was teased on social media. The band began recording sessions at Conway Studios in Los Angeles with producer Andrew Goldstein.[8] In May, the group concluded recording sessions. gg bb xx was announced on July 12, 2021 along with pre-orders and the announcement of the album's second single "Up to Me".[9]

Gg bb xx was preceded by five singles. On June 25, 2021, the lead single "Dancing in the Kitchen" was released accompanied with its music video directed by Matty Peacock.[10] The second single, "Up to Me", was released on July 15, alongside a demo recording of the album's fourth track "DNA".[11] A third single, "Never Mind, Let's Break Up", was released on August 19.[12] "Roll Over, Baby" was released as the album's fourth single on August 25.[13] A music video for the song "Ex I Never Had" premiered on September 2.[14]

Through the months leading up to the album's September release, LANY also released two collaborative singles. On June 9, 2021, the band released "I Quit Drinking", a collaboration with American country pop singer-songwriter Kelsea Ballerini, with a music video premiering on June 15.[15] [16] On the same day, LANY frontman Paul Klein and Ballerini debuted the song live at the 2021 CMT Music Awards.[17] On August 6, LANY and 220 KID released the single "Stupid Feelings".[18]

In support of gg bb xx, the trio will embark on a world tour beginning in the United Kingdom on September 23, 2021 and continuing with a 25-date run in the United States and Canada in October and November.[19] The band performed a sold out headlining album release show at the Troubadour in Los Angeles on September 3, 2021.[20]
