Bella Kay Releases Debut Album 'My Reckless Abandon' + 'iloveitiloveitiloveit' Certified 2x Aria Platinum
At just 20 years old, Bella Kay is one of the most emotionally resonant new voices in pop and today, releases her debut album My Reckless Abandon, declaring her as one of the most exciting and unmatched songwriters in 2026. Listen HERE. After releasing a series of three-pack songs – "a couple minutes out" and "are you mad at me?" – the record, executive produced by Idarose (Becky G, Suki Waterhouse, Joji), follows Bella's journey to self acceptance and introspection after multiple messy and 'reckless' ups and downs. On the introspective focus track "i deserve better.," the Texas-born singer-songwriter breaks the cycle of a relationship that no longer serves her over cinematic guitar riffs.
About the album, Bella says, "My Reckless Abandon is an album about all of my thoughts - the good, bad, confusing, obsessive, honest, and beautiful ones. It's cathartic to share this album with the world. When people listen to it, I hope they recognize themselves and their own experiences."
Bella Kay's ascent has been fueled by fearless honesty and an unshakable determination. Through songs that confront heartbreak, isolation, and resilience with unfiltered vulnerability, she blends a hauntingly timeless voice with hazy alternative pop production and deeply personal, bedroom-born songwriting. Her breakout moment came with the ARIA platinum"The Sick," a viral ballad that has since surpassed 210 million streams and generated over 2.6 billion TikTok views. The momentum continued with her February 2026 project "a couple minutes out", featuring the ARIA 2x Platinum hit "iloveitiloveitiloveit," which earned an American Music Awards nomination for "Song of the Summer," landed her on the Billboard Hot 100, and has amassed over 445 million streams alongside 3.3 billion views across 1.3 million TikTok creates. The track is currently climbing at pop radio.
Bella's momentum has translated just as powerfully to the stage. She recently announced The Reckless Tour in North America, including stops at Austin City Limits Festival and Yours Always Festival in Salt Lake City, following sold-out North American, European and UK headlining tours earlier this year – further cementing her transition from viral breakout to global touring artist. In November, Bella will join indie-folk powerhouse Noah Kahan as support on his UK and Ireland arena tour, marking her largest performances to date and a major milestone in her ascent. This May she made her festival debut at The Great Escape and All Things Go and will play Lollapalooza in Chicago this July. See all tour dates HERE.
