Blue Lips[a] is the third studio album by Swedish singer Tove Lo. It was released on 17 November 2017 by Island Records.[1] Blue Lips is considered the second half of a two-piece concept album that describe "highs, lows and ultimate demise of a relationship."[2] Its chapters "Light Beams" and "Pitch Black" succeed the chapters "Fairy Dust" and "Fire Fade" from her previous album Lady Wood (2016).[3]

In addition to the return of songwriter-producers such as the Struts, Ali Payami and Joe Janiak, the album features new collaborations with Alex Hope and Lulou, among others. Daye Jack is the only featured artist on the album. Musically, the album has been described as "sharply conceived dance-pop"[4] and it is noted to follow the "hypnotizing electro-pop vein" of the preceding album that also features hip-hop and trap-influenced production.[5][6]

A short film of the same name was released on 19 October 2018 to accompany the album.[7]
