It Doesn't Have to Make Sense is the sixth studio album by American singer-songwriter Ingrid Michaelson. It was released on August 26, 2016, through Cabin 24 Records under exclusive license to Mom + Pop Music. Conceived after the end of her marriage with musician Greg Laswell and the death of her mother Elizabeth, Michaelson reteamed with a wider range of previous collaborators to work on the album, including Cason Cooley, Barry Dean, Katie Herzig, Chris Kuffner, Luke Laird and Dan Romer.

The album was released to generally positive reviews from music critics, some of whom cited it her "strongest and most powerful album" by then.[1] It debuted and peaked at number 19 on the US Billboard 200 and marked Michaelson third consecutive album to reached the top three of the Independent Albums chart. It Doesn't Have to Make Sense was predeced by its lead single, "Hell No", released on April 29, 2016,[2] followed by the promotional singles "Light Me Up" and "Celebrate."[3][4]
