NEW YORK CITY – The Pretty Reckless has released “Dear God”, the title track from their upcoming fifth studio album, marking a raw and uncompromising new artistic chapter for the band.
The Pretty Reckless released “Dear God,” the title track from their fifth studio album, on May 22, 2026, ahead of the full album’s June 26 release via Fearless Records. Frontwoman Taylor Momsen describes the record as “desperation set to music,” a collection of songs “directly ripped out of my diary” that embraces vulnerability and artistic freedom. This release follows previous singles “For I Am Death,” “When I Wake Up,” and “Love Me.”
Taylor Momsen and Ben Phillips are credited as the primary songwriters for the album’s material. Production credits for tracks like “Life Evermore Pt. 2” include Phillips, Jonathan Wyman, and Momsen herself. The band, consisting of Momsen, Phillips, Mark Damon, and Jamie Perkins, will support the new album with a headlining “Dear God” tour, spanning North America and Europe, following their recent stint with AC/DC.
A Cry for Deliverance: Unveiling Introspection and Public Scrutiny
The Pretty Reckless’s fifth album, Dear God, is an intensely personal statement, with Taylor Momsen describing it as “directly ripped out of my diary” and embodying “honesty and a brutality.” The title track, “Dear God,” functions as a desperate plea for intervention, characterized by Momsen as “desperation set to music,” seeking elevation and protection from metaphorical ‘fire’ as detailed in our breakdown of “Dear God” by The Pretty Reckless. This yearning reflects past struggles with depression and substance abuse.
