The Secret of Us is the second studio album by American singer-songwriter Gracie Abrams, released on June 21, 2024, by Interscope Records. It was mostly produced by Abrams and American musician Aaron Dessner, who she had first collaborated with on her debut studio album, Good Riddance (2023). Abrams wrote most of the songs with either Dessner or her frequent co-writer Audrey Hobert. Musically, The Secret of Us has been labeled as a country pop, indie pop, and folk album.

Two singles—"Risk" and "Close to You"—preceded the album's release. "I Love You, I'm Sorry" was released as the third single months later; it became Abrams' first song to reach the top-20 region of the United States' Billboard Hot 100. American singer-songwriter Taylor Swift, who is often cited by Abrams as an artistic influence, appears on the track "Us" as a featured guest.

The Secret of Us topped the charts in Australia, the Netherlands, Scotland, and the United Kingdom. In the United States, the album debuted at number two on the Billboard 200, becoming her first top 10 album. To support the album, Abrams embarked on her fourth concert tour, the Secret of Us Tour, in September 2024. She also has performed at several events and television programs, and added certain tracks to her setlist of The Eras Tour. A deluxe edition of The Secret of Us was released on October 18, 2024, alongside the single "That’s So True".
