Khalid's fourth album moves toward a dance-pop sound, and its documented writing credits show him working with a pop-songwriting team including Julia Michaels, Savan Kotecha, Pete Nappi and Ryan Tedder. Ilya Salmanzadeh served as executive producer, with production also from BloodPop, Rodney Jerkins, Elvira Anderfjard, Mattman & Robin and others. Serban Ghenea mixed the record and Randy Merrill mastered it.
After the Sun Goes Down is the fourth studio album by Khalid, released on October 10, 2025 through Right Hand Music Group and RCA Records. A pivot toward dance-leaning pop and R&B, it was executive produced by Ilya Salmanzadeh with contributions from BloodPop, Rodney "Darkchild" Jerkins, Ryan Tedder, and Savan Kotecha, drawing on the influence of artists such as Rihanna, Britney Spears, and Janet Jackson. Its lead singles include "In Plain Sight," "Out of Body," and "Nah." The album peaked at number 136 on the Billboard 200 and number 41 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart. Released after Khalid publicly came out, it drew praise for its newfound openness and a lighter, more pop-forward sound.
