Suckapunch is the seventh studio album by English rock band You Me at Six. It was released on 15 January 2021, through the band's own label Underdog Records and AWAL. Within a month of releasing their sixth studio album VI, they had recorded "What's It Like" at VADA Studios in Alcester in November 2018. The touring circle for that album continued into mid-2019, when they started recording a new album with Dan Austin in October and November 2019 at Karma Sound Studios in Bang Saray, Thailand. Suckapunch is a rock album with electronic, hip hop and R&B influences.
Suckapunch received generally favourable reviews from music critics, many of whom complimented the sognwriting and the album's aggressive tone. The album topped the album charts in both Scotland and the United Kingdom, in addition to charting in Germany. "What's It Like" was released as a single in August 2019; promotion for the album did not start until "Make Me Feel Alive" was released as a single in August 2020. "Suckapunch" and "Adrenaline" followed as singles in November 2020 and January 2021, respectively. Between May and July 2021, the band went toured the UK twice; they went on a short tour in September 2021, prior to a supporting slot for Bring Me the Horizon on their arena tour. Kerrang! included the album on their list for the 50 best releases of the year.
