When is Megan Thee Stallion’s new song ‘Whenever’ coming out? Details explored

Megan Thee Stallion announced her new single “Whenever” on April 19, 2025, which is set to be released on April 25, 2025.

She posted the announcement on all of her social media accounts and included cover art for the track in styled form. She is dropping it as her first single of the year 2025 after dropping her 2024 album Megan, which featured earlier singles such as "Cobra" and "Hiss."

The artwork for the announcement has a clear retro Western visual aesthetic. Three iterations of Megan in purple denim bikinis and cowboy hats, set against a dreamlike background of a chessboard, an old car, and fish-headed creatures. The visual aesthetic seems to draw from classic Western movie posters, with a style different from her earlier releases.

Announcement and confirmed release date of “Whenever”

The "Whenever" release was posted by Megan on April 19, 2025, with the announcement dating the release as April 25, 2025. This makes the single a major release into her 2025 catalog and the artist's first major release since her last album. The post contained no music video teaser or audio clip, leaving fans in anticipation before the release date.

Visual presentation and concept of “Whenever”

The work has a very strong visual idea that is inclined towards Western and surrealism. The application of three figures to symbolize Megan, coupled with symbolic features such as a chessboard and anthropomorphic fish-headed figures, has resulted in contradictory interpretations on the internet.

However, no thematic interpretation or commentary on the visual theme has been provided by Megan or her team.

Megan's upcoming album

Though Megan Thee Stallion did indicate that she was in the process of creating an album titled Act III, to date, there has been no official confirmation if "Whenever" is a part of this upcoming album.

The release of the single is amidst consistent hype for Act III; however, at the current moment, the song is independent with no album confirmation.

Availability of “Whenever” on streaming platforms

"Whenever" will be released on all major streaming platforms, such as Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, and YouTube. The standard digital release format will be used, with initial distribution being conducted at local midnight on April 25, 2025.

Its release marks the beginning of a new chapter in her series of music releases, though its complete context within a larger piece is yet to be determined.
