Malcolm Todd didn’t just wait for the moment to arrive—he built it, song by song, until the internet pulled the spotlight closer.
On Friday (June 5), the 22-year-old viral singer-songwriter released his second studio album, Do That Again, via Columbia Records. It marks a swift turn from viral TikTok discovery to late-night performance. coming just three years after he first went viral on TikTok with songs like “Art House” and “Roommates.”.
His new record is framed as both a burst of freedom and serious work happening at the same time. The official release says that while recording Do That Again. Malcolm Todd spent the summer newly single. “bursting with life. ” staying out late and moving through the dog days with nothing tying him down. But the freewheeling energy sat beside a quieter drive: he poured everything he was learning as both a person and an artist into the songs.
Do That Again was recorded over six months—at Electric Lady Studios in New York and Chaplin Recording Studios in Los Angeles—with a tight-knit crew of collaborators as he logged “long days and late nights” until the songs felt exactly right.
The album rollout hit another milestone this week. Malcolm Todd performed on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon for the first time alongside the release, singing Billboard Hot 100 hits “I Saw Your Face” and “Earrings.”
Of “Earrings” and its recent surge in attention. he told the LA Times. “I definitely don’t feel like I have to grab onto it. I’m not really chasing hits. They’re always nice, and to be rewarded for a song you care about is really cool. As this has blown up. I’ve just been like. ‘OK. cool. people like that song.’ All I’m thinking really about is putting out new music.”.
That audience connection is showing up in a very specific way online. One of the new songs gaining major momentum is “Obsessica.” Fans are reading along as lyrics circulate on Genius, where it’s currently floating in the Top 10 most searched songs.
In the song, Malcolm Todd sings: “Crazy I think I’m a little bit obsessed / ‘Cause every time you call I fall again / And I get just a little bit depressed / And I like it, I think I like it.”
The shift is clear in the way the album is landing—first with a Columbia Records release timed for Friday (June 5). then with a Tonight Show stage the week it drops. and now with fans hunting lines from “Obsessica” as they press play. For Malcolm Todd, the through-line stays the same: keep making music, and let the songs find their people.
