Worst Man in America (stylized as wor$t man in america) is an upcoming reissue of American singer-songwriter Slayyyter's third studio album Worst Girl in America (2026). It is expected to be released on December 4, 2026, through Columbia Records. The album has been described by Slayyyter as a "brother album" to Worst Girl in America, serving as an inversion of its themes.
Background and themes Following the critical and commercial breakthrough of Worst Girl in America, Slayyyter revealed that she had begun work on a companion record. In an interview with Rolling Stone in June 2026, Slayyyter confirmed that she was developing what she described as a "sister" album to Worst Girl in America, later also referring to the project as its "brother album". She conceived the project as an alternative to releasing a conventional deluxe edition of Worst Girl in America. In a post on X published on July 11, 2026, Slayyyter confirmed that she had further developed the concept of "inversing the album".
Speaking to Vogue in September 2026, Slayyyter announced that the album would be released "soon-ish" and would feature eight new songs. She said she had been "working on finishing" the album at the time of the interview, and explained that she wanted a second part to have ties or "little links" to the original, whether through its lyrics, production, or sound. She described the album as occupying a "deeper, more emotional pocket", with moments that "feel a lot softer" and include "more heartbroken moments". She also identified themes of forgiveness and "having life reckonings with yourself".
Promotion On July 26, 2026, Slayyyter shared a visual teaser featuring a snippet of the song "Brand New Chanels", an inversion of her 2025 song "Beat Up Chanels", while wearing a hat emblazoned with the title Worst Man in America. The song title had previously been teased in a post on X on May 9. The single was released as the album's lead single on July 31 and debuted at number 98 on the US Billboard Hot 100, marking her first appearance on the chart. The release coincided with the commencement of her Worst Girl in the World Tour on the same day.
On September 7, 2026, she began teasing the release of "Crank 2", a sequel to "Crank", by posting a snippet of the song. The track had previously been previewed on her social media accounts on May 13 and 16, 2026. The song was released on September 10, 2026, and was described upon release as "a little more sinister and infinitely more pissed off" than its counterpart.
On October 5, 2026, its release date was announced as December 4, 2026.
