About

Twelve Carat Toothache is the fourth studio album by Post Malone, released on June 3, 2022, by Mercury and Republic Records. The album, named after Malone's own diamond teeth, features 14 tracks and guest appearances from Roddy Ricch, Doja Cat, Gunna, Fleet Foxes, The Kid Laroi, and The Weeknd. A deluxe edition with two additional tracks, "Waiting For Never" and "Hateful," was released on June 7, 2022. Post Malone described the album as a reflection of his feelings at the time, encompassing the "ups and downs and the disarray and the bipolar aspect of being an artist in the mainstream". The album is considered Post Malone's most intimate and personal work to date, exploring themes of fame, struggles with alcohol, and mental health. In contrast to his previous albums, Post Malone co-produced and played various instruments on *Twelve Carat Toothache*, adding a personal touch to each track. The album's relatively short length, at 43 minutes, reflects Malone's reduced incentive to create as much music due to the COVID-19 pandemic and inability to tour.
