"This album was not made for sitting still": Tyler, The Creator pens a note addressing the vision behind latest album

Tyler, The Creator announced his ninth studio album, DON’T TAP THE GLASS, on July 18, 2025, and released it days later on July 21, 2025. Addressing how he perceives the album, Tyler penned a heartfelt note on Instagram on the day of his album's release.

Recalling how he got the idea for the album, Tyler said that he had asked some of his friends why they didn't dance in public, and some said, "because of the fear of being filmed."

This made the rapper ponder about dance, a natural form of expression and connection to music, becoming "a ghost", which made him wonder "how much of our human spirit got killed because of the fear of being a meme, all for having a good time.”

Dubbing it "one of the greatest nites" of his life, Tyler, The Creator stated that phones and cameras weren't allowed at the party, allowing people to express themselves by dancing.

Describing the impact of his newly released project and how he envisions it, Tyler wrote:

“This album was not made for sitting still. Dancing. Driving. Running. Any type of movement is recommended to maybe understand the spirit of it. Only at full volume."

Tyler, The Creator's ninth studio album comes a year after his 2024 project Chromakopia. DON’T TAP THE GLASS comprises ten songs performed and produced by Tyler.
