I'm Doing It Again Baby! is the upcoming second studio album and major-label debut by Norwegian singer-songwriter Girl in Red, set for release on 12 April 2024, through Columbia Records. Serving as the follow-up to her 2021 album If I Could Make It Go Quiet, it has been preceded by the release of three singles between February and March 2024: "Too Much", "Doing It Again Baby" and "You Need Me Now?", a collaboration with American singer-songwriter Sabrina Carpenter. To promote the album, Girl in Red will embark on the Doing It Again Tour, starting on 16 April 2024.

Background

In an interview with NME following the release of her debut full-length studio album If I Could Make It Go Quiet, in April 2021, Girl in Red shared how she had already been "working on new sounds".[1] At the Reading Festival in August 2021, she again confirmed that she was working on new music material.[2] In February 2022, following the commercial success of her debut album, the artist signed a record deal with Columbia Records; the company confirmed it to Variety.[3] In the following year, while performing at the All Points East Festival in London, she confirmed that her second studio album would be in production by stating: "This is just the beginning, I'm finishing the best album ever made".[4]

She teased music at the beginning of 2024, a track which she labelled "the song of the summer", with the caption "2024 baby!".[5] I'm Doing It Again Baby! was announced via her social media accounts on 30 January 2024, while sharing its artwork and release date.[6] In addition to the album announcement, the artist shared a snippet of an audio file, hinting that it would be part of a new song on the record.[4]

Music and lyrics

The singer described the album as an "elevated" version of her previous project, If I Could Make It Go Quiet (2021), and said that it feels more creative and confident.[7] She cited Taylor Swift as one of her inspirations for the album.[7]

"Doing It Again Baby" was named by the artist as "the most fun track" she has ever made.[8] The third track on the album, titled "Too Much", is a song about "being pushed into a corner [and] told that your emotions need to be minimised, or in some cases not heard at all".[9] "You Need Me Now?" is a rock-infused pop song,[10] in which Girl in Red "calls out an ex's bad behaviour".[11]

Promotion

Singles

I'm Doing It Again Baby! was preceded by the release of three singles.
