Twelve Carat Toothache

Twelve Carat Toothache is the fourth studio album by Post Malone, released in June 2022 on Republic Records and produced by Louis Bell, Andrew Watt, Frank Dukes, Billy Walsh, and Oscar Holter. The album is Post Malone's most introspective and sonically adventurous work to date, exploring themes of depression, isolation, and the emptiness that can accompany extreme wealth and fame. Featuring The Weeknd, Doja Cat, Gunna, and Roddy Ricch, the record's leaner track listing and more restrained production marked a shift away from the maximalist sprawl of his previous albums. While it debuted at number one in Australia and reached number two on the Billboard 200, critics noted a new emotional honesty and willingness to slow down and examine the inner costs of his lifestyle. Twelve Carat Toothache is a more vulnerable and literary Post Malone than audiences had previously encountered.
