Feed the Beast is the major-label debut studio album by German singer Kim Petras. It was released on 23 June 2023 through Amigo and Republic, following two mixtapes that Petras self-released four years prior. A pop and dance album, Feed the Beast explores themes of love, heartbreak and hedonism, filled with sex-positive lyrics on many of its songs.[1][2][3] It was preceded by the lead single "Alone" with Nicki Minaj, and includes collaborations with Banks and Sam Smith.

Upon its release the record was met with mixed-to-positive reviews; some critics found the album entertaining and praised Petras's songwriting and vocal performances, while others found it to be safe and inferior to her previous releases.

To promote the album, Petras embarked on the Feed the Beast World Tour.[4][5] Commercially, the album debuted and peaked at number 24 in her native Germany, while it became her first charting album in the United States and the United Kingdom.
