Background

Following the release of her 2024 album The Secret of Us, Abrams debuted new material during the Secret of Us Tour in early 2025, performing unreleased songs including "Death Wish", "Cold Goodbyes", and "In Between".4 She also premiered the song "Out of Nowhere" live during her set at the Glastonbury Festival 2025.5

In an interview with People on January 7, 2026, she first spoke about her upcoming third studio album, saying that she was "beyond ready for [the album] to belong to everyone else". She said she had "never felt this way about anything" she had made before, which was "driving [her] crazy". Regarding the anticipation surrounding the album, she said she "loved the feeling" but also felt "kind of calm" about it, instead appreciating the time she had spent with the record and the people she worked with.6

Starting in March 2026, Abrams regularly shared glimpses on her Instagram, including photos of herself, moments with collaborators like Aaron Dessner and Bella Blasko, and a leather-bound journal marked with the number "3" and a sticker reading "witch".7 Additionally, some of the stickers in her gallery featured the abbreviation "DFH". On April 20, she posted a snippet of a song playing on her phone to her Instagram.8 On May 1, 2026, she revealed that the lead single, "Hit the Wall," would be released on May 14 at 9 p.m. PST, sharing its accompanying artwork as well.9 On May 11, she revealed the album title, artwork, and release date on Instagram, announcing that it will feature 16 songs.10 On June 17, 2026, she revealed the album tracklist on Instagram, with art that features a black-and-white image of Abrams.11 The next day, "Crazy Girl" was announced as the bonus track for the Target special edition vinyl via Gracie Abrams HQ on Instagram.1213 She previously premiered the song live during her set at BST Hyde Park 2025.14

Elise Ryan in the Associated Press wrote that Daughter from Hell "finds Abrams in a darker place than her previous two records" but the album's tracks are able to "live up to the bigger arenas she now fills" through a broader array of instrumentation and production. Ryan pointed to "Humming" as "beautiful" and the "most ambitious" track lyrically on the album.15 In a critical review for The Guardian, Laura Snapes characterized Daughter from Hell as melodramatic and unable to live up to its title with the "grandeur" of the title track's instrumentation "starkly highlight[ing] the genericness of the record’s centrepiece". It is the dissonance between Abrams' mature revelations, and the poetic license she takes with them, with the "insistent, quivering prettiness" of the music that makes the album "bloodless" for Snapes.18
