Tyler, the Creator has surprised fans with the unexpected release of his ninth studio album, Don't Tap the Glass, on July 21, 2025. The 10-track album, spanning approximately 28 minutes, showcases Tyler's signature blend of hip-hop and eclectic production.

At a Brooklyn performance on July 18, he teased the project with signage and updated his Golf Wang website with related merchandise.

In a statement, Tyler emphasized the album's intent to inspire movement:
"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." (power1051.iheart.com)
