Malcolm Todd releases new single ‘I Just Got Mad’

Malcolm Todd returned on Friday with his new single ‘I Just Got Mad’, released via Columbia Records/Ministry of Sound. Written with Malcolm’s signature honesty and effortless charm, ‘I Just Got Mad’ is a longtime fan favourite that Malcolm first began teasing in 2024. The song finally arrived last week alongside an official visualiser shot and edited by Malcolm himself.

‘I Just Got Mad’ marks Malcolm Todd’s first new music since the release of his sophomore album Do That Again, which debuted at No. 5 on the Billboard 200, earning him his first Top 10 album and highest-charting debut to date. Featuring the singles ‘Breathe’ and ‘I Saw Your Face’ –  his highest streaming song in the UK – the album has already amassed 236 million global streams since its release. Across Do That Again, Malcolm steps into the promise of a fully formed pop star, threading classic pop songwriting through a modern R&B lens with humour, instinct, and meticulous detail holding it all together.

On the eve of the album’s release, Malcolm made his debut on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, performing ‘I Saw Your Face’ live for the first time, along with his hit single ‘Earrings’ which reached the Top 10 on the UK Spotify Chart and is currently the #1 sound on TikTok over here.

The momentum continues this autumn with Malcolm’s sold-out Do That Again North America Tour. After selling more than 145,000 tickets during artist presale alone, overwhelming demand prompted the addition of 11 new dates. The tour kicks off September 2nd in Irving, Texas, and includes two nights at Radio City Music Hall in New York City and three nights at the Greek Theatre in Los Angeles. Malcolm will also perform at Outside Lands and Osheaga this summer before embarking on his North American tour.

Malcolm’s rise has been fueled by an unmistakable connection with his audience. Fans first embraced his music online before carrying it into sold-out venues around the world, transforming every show into a room-wide sing-along. That connection has propelled each new milestone, from Platinum-certified singles to his first Billboard Hot 100 hit and now his highest-charting album debut, and continues with the release of ‘I Just Got Mad’.

The first time he played London, Malcolm Todd performed in a basement with the crowd shoulder-to-shoulder at The Lower Third; when he returned, he sold out Kentish Town Forum and has since moved 100,000 tickets across three continents in a single tour. He sold out an underplay for his most devoted fans at The Fonda Theatre in seconds. The 22-year-old’s dizzying popularity poses a vision for a new kind of poster boy because he is unflinchingly real: self-doubts and radical vulnerability bring human texture to the dream.

While recording Do That Again, Malcolm Todd spent the summer newly single and bursting with life. Fresh off tour with friends in town and nothing to tie him down, the New York-based musician zipped through the dog days, staying out late, having the kind of time you spend the rest of the year in search of. But that spontaneous thrill ran parallel to a major focus. He was hard at work, too, pouring all that radiant vim straight into his new record, writing through and into his growth as both human and artist. Over six months at Electric Lady Studios in New York and Chaplin Recording Studios in Los Angeles, Todd logged long days and late nights with a tight-knit crew of collaborators until everything was exactly right.

Malcolm introduced himself with his 2024 mixtape Sweet Boy, and two years later, the project has taken on a life of its own: ‘Earrings’, ‘Sweet Boy’, and ‘Roommates’ have surged back into Spotify’s Top 100 simultaneously, driven entirely by organic fan rediscovery. He followed Sweet Boy with his self-titled debut Malcolm Todd, which has accumulated over 859 million global streams, propelled by the RIAA Platinum-certified ‘Chest Pain (I Love)’ his first Billboard Hot 100 entry, now surpassing 433 million streams worldwide. The song’s reach extended further when Don Toliver prominently sampled it on his hit ‘E85’ which peaked at No. 15 on the Billboard Hot 100 and topped the Hot Rap Songs chart.

In 2025, Malcolm completed his sold-out Wholesome Rockstar Tour, playing to packed rooms across three continents and sharpening the live presence that has become central to his rise. Festival sets at Camp Flog Gnaw, Pitchfork Paris, Lollapalooza, and Austin City Limits brought that energy to bigger stages, with crowds singing back the songs that first built his fanbase online and on the road.

Physical editions of Do That Again are available now on Malcolm Todd’s Store.
