Gracie Abrams appears to be brewing new music. Over the past few days, the pop star has shared a number of cryptic posts seemingly teasing a new project in the works — most recently posting a video of a snippet of a song Monday (April 20) on Instagram.

In the clip, Abrams wears a simple red T-shirt and looks at her phone, the light from the screen illuminating her face. A twinkly track plays over the speaker, previewing an ethereal mix of reverberant chimes that cut off right as the singer’s voice hits the first note.


Fans in the replies are as excited as they are impatient for Abrams to reveal what exactly she’s teasing. “OH WE ARE SO BACK,” one person wrote, while another commented, “GIRL STOP TEASING.”

Billboard has reached out to Abrams’ team for more information.

The video comes after a number of other potential clues the hitmaker has posted ahead of her yet-to-be-announced third studio album. In recent days, she’s posted two photos of a journal labeled “3” with a sticker displaying the word “Witch” beneath one such practitioner of magic flying on a broomstick. The most recent snap of the journal, posted on April 16, features three different stickers reading, “DFH.”

It’s no secret that Abrams has been in the studio. This year alone, she’s shared a number of photos of herself in the studio with longtime collaborator Aaron Dessner on Instagram. During her 2024-25 Secret of Us Tour, she was open about working on music whenever she had the time.

“Aaron and I are catching each other in these little pockets between hectic times,” she told Billboard in her 2025 cover story. “Every day that I live with the music, things start to become a little clearer. There’s something we’re starting to crack that is making both of us feel energized.”

The musician last dropped an LP in 2024, reaching No. 2 on the Billboard 200 with The Secret of Us.
