Pony is the third studio album and major-label debut by the English musician Rex Orange County. It was released on 25 October 2019, through RCA Records. The album was entirely recorded at Strongroom Studios in East London, with an orchestral recording at Air Studios, and solely written by Rex Orange County, who produced all the songs with Ben Baptie.[4]

Lyrically, the album explores human emotion, and takes inspiration from personal struggles Rex Orange County faced following his rise to prominence between 2017 and 2018. Pony was supported by three singles: "10/10", "Pluto Projector", and "Face to Face". The album received favorable reviews; with both criticism and compliments directed towards its lyrical content. It debuted at number three on the US Billboard 200, marking his first entry on the chart. The album reached the top ten in five other countries, including his native country, the United Kingdom, and Canada.
