Nostalgia is the fifth studio album by American rapper and singer Rod Wave, released on September 15, 2023, through Alamo Records.[2] The album features guest appearances from 21 Savage, Sadie Jean, and Wet, while the production was handled by Ayo Bleu, FlexOnDaTrack, LayZBeats, LondnBlue, Ronny J, SephGotTheWaves, and TnTXD, alongside several others.[3] The album serves as a follow-up to Green's fourth studio album, Beautiful Mind (2022), and his EP, Jupiter's Diary: 7 Day Theory (2022).[4]

Nostalgia received positive reviews from music critics who applauded the album's vulnerability and Rod's melodic flows. It debuted at number one on the US Billboard 200 chart, in which it earned 137,000 album-equivalent units, of which 1,500 were pure album sales.[5] Serving as Green's third consecutive number one on the chart,[6] each of the album's eighteen tracks debuted on the Billboard Hot 100.[7] In its second week, the album stayed atop the chart, moving an additional 88,000 units.[8] In May 2024, Nostalgia was listed amongst Sony Music's highest grossing albums of the fiscal year.[9] It was supported by five singles: "Fight the Feeling", "Call Your Friends", "Come See Me", "Boyz Don't Cry", and "Checkmate".
