Honey is the eighth studio album by Swedish singer Robyn, and her first since Body Talk (2010).[4] It was released on 26 October 2018 through Konichiwa, Island and Interscope Records.[4] It features the singles "Missing U", "Honey" (a version of which originally featured in the final season of the HBO series Girls in 2017),[5] "Ever Again", "Beach 2k20", and "Baby Forgive Me". The song "Send to Robin Immediately" also served as part of the promotional campaign for the singer's clothing line collaboration with Björn Borg.[6][7]

The album features collaborations with Joseph Mount of Metronomy, Klas Åhlund, Adam Bainbridge, Mr. Tophat, and Zhala.[4] It has been called a "significant departure from the hooky, sparkling electro-pop" of the Body Talk album series[8] that in contrast, "pushed even deeper into the emotional intensity which has defined her music, with sparser arrangements and an unusually brooding atmosphere".[9]
