Mercury: Act 2 is the sixth studio album by Imagine Dragons, released in July 2022 on Interscope / KIDinaKORNER and produced by Jayson DeZuzio, Mattman & Robin, Joel Little, and Ricky Reed. The concluding chapter of the Mercury diptych, the album extends the emotional and sonic explorations of Act 1 while adding new textures and collaborations, including a striking duet with J. Burnett. The record addresses continuing themes of legacy, memory, and artistic identity as the band navigates life on a global scale while attempting to stay connected to the human experiences that fuel their songwriting. The double-album project as a whole demonstrated Imagine Dragons' commitment to treating their music as a sustained artistic statement rather than just a vehicle for singles. Mercury: Act 2 debuted in the top five of the Billboard 200 and reinforced the band's position as one of rock's most commercially consistent acts of the streaming era.
