Look Now is the 30th studio album by English singer-songwriter Elvis Costello and The Imposters, released on 12 October 2018.[1] Look Now was the first studio album released by Costello since 2013.[1] The album was co-produced by Costello and Sebastian Krys.

The majority of the songs here were written by Costello, though three were co-written with Burt Bacharach. Costello's collaboration with Carole King, "Burnt Sugar Is So Bitter," had existed only as a demo for 20 years before being produced for release on Look Now.[2] Costello told NPR that Look Now is the "uptown pop record with a little swagger" that he had been wanting to make for 20 years.[3]

Look Now won the Grammy Award for Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album at the 62nd Grammy Awards. Costello and The Imposters toured America in support of the album in November and December 2018.[4]
