“Pop Sound” is produced by: Kim Petras, Frost Children and nightfeelings, and is also written by Petras, Angel Prost, Lulu Prost and Nick Weiss. The original visualizer was released on February 10th 2026 on YouTube - watch here.
Following the celebrated release of her third studio album, Detour, which was hailed by Pitchfork as her “true artistic debut” that “swerves between blunt-force bangers and finely crafted pop gems,” Kim is evoking the music that kept fans alive through several months of patient anticipation. While unavoidable delays impacted the rollout for the now-released Detour, Kim took February 2026 to double down on her new sound with an independently released, four-track EP entitled Pretour, originally available only via YouTube (with lo-fi exclusive videos) and SoundCloud. The tracks: “Pop Sound”, “Mr Producer (feat. BC Kingdom)”, “Cha Cha”, “and “Get Some (feat. Cortisa Star)” were quickly embraced by Kim’s loyal fans who were wise to understand Kim’s desire for this special drop. While the track has already racked up nearly 2 million streams across YouTube & Soundcloud, “Pop Sound” is now officially available for streaming across DSPs.
Kim recently gave an electric performance of the track at New York’s iconic Ladyland festival where fans continued to show out for “Pop Sound,” shouting every word back at her. Most recently, Kim performed a duet of breakout single from Detour, “Jeep,” alongside Charli xcx. She also pulled off a standout, self-funded performance of “Jeep” on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon with visuals that can only be defined as an honest extension of the music video for the track. Kim has also appeared in Europe recently, DJ’ing at renowned German nightclub Berghain along with frequent collaborator/producer Margo XS, sitting front row at Gucci in Milan, and sitting front row at Courreges in Paris.

Kim Petras finds and shares her own kind of solace through pop music. Long before emerging as a history-making GRAMMY® Award-winning global sensation and elite songwriter, she grew up in rural Germany. Isolated, lonely, and misunderstood, she found refuge and connection in pop, studying and obsessing over goddesses a la Madonna, Britney Spears, Kylie Minogue, and Gwen Stefani. By immersing herself in the music and intently tuning into the lyrics, she even learned English from watching Britney Spears. Kim recently released her self-proclaimed debut album, Detour, which was hailed by Vogue as Petras’ “best and most accomplished body of work yet,” upon its release in May 2026. The world initially got to know Kim in 2017. Launching a quiet grind, she vaulted to the forefront of pop music and culture on her own terms. She shattered all expectations and reached superstar status when she joined forces with Sam Smith on “Unholy.” It toppled the Billboard Hot 100 at #1, went 2x-Platinum in the United States, and even garnered a GRAMMY® Award in the category of “Best Pop Duo/Group Performance.” She captivated with a procession of acclaimed projects such as Clarity, Slut Pop, Feed The Beast, Slut Pop Miami, and fan favorite TURN OFF THE LIGHTS. Speaking to her impact, she graced the covers of Sports Illustrated’s coveted Swimsuit Issue, Cosmopolitan, OUT Magazine, WWD, and more. Emerging as a style icon, she made headlines every time she appeared at an event like the Met Gala or CFDAs. Piling up billions of streams, selling out tours, and resonating with a devout global audience, she has quietly become one of her generation’s most impactful stars. Now, she ignites what promises to be her biggest, brightest, and boldest era yet.
