Sugababes is the upcoming ninth studio album by British girl group Sugababes. It is set to be released on 12 February 2027, through the imprint Sacred Three. The album will contain twelve tracks, including the group's 2025 singles "Jungle", "Weeds" and "Shook", as well as the lead single, "Ghost", which was released on 24 September 2026.
Background and release In 2011, the original line-up of the Sugababes reformed, consisting of Keisha Buchanan, Siobhán Donaghy, and Mutya Buena. They released the single "Flatline" in 2013, under the moniker Mutya Keisha Siobhan (MKS). In 2019, the group regained the rights to use their group name "Sugababes", after which they released their eighth studio album, The Lost Tapes (2022). It consists of leaked songs recorded between 2011 and 2013 as MKS. In 2023, the group released the single "When the Rain Comes", which was followed by the singles "Jungle", "Weeds" and "Shook" in 2025.
Sugababes is set to be released on 12 February 2027, through the imprint Sacred Three. The Orchard will handle distribution of the album. It will mark the original trio's first new material recorded under the Sugababes name in 26 years, since One Touch (2000). Commenting on the album's title, the group stated: We’ve poured so much into the songs, the sound and every detail around it, and the more it came together, the clearer it became that there was only one thing we could call it: Sugababes. It feels unmistakably us. We've loved writing and recording this record, and we're so excited that it's finally time for people to hear it.
The album cover was shot by Liz Collins, who also shot the cover for One Touch. The album's track listing contains twelve songs, including the group's singles released in 2025. Sugababes worked with a range of collaborators on the album, including Jon Shave, Anya Jones, PRGRSHN, Simon Aldred, and George Moore.
Promotion On 22 September, the group's social media accounts were cleared, and a post featuring an image of a table and three chairs was published with a caption in Latin reading "Si me dederis ad lupos, dux eorum revertar". The phrase translates to "Throw me to the wolves and I'll return leading the pack". A countdown to 24 September was also added to their website.
Live performances Sugababes performed the track "Modern Love" during various festival appearances prior to the announcement of the album, including at the Henley Festival on 11 July 2026, and Depot Live in Cardiff on 25 July. On 2 October, the group announced on their social media that they would be embarking on an "up close and personal" concert tour in March 2027 to support the album, which will feature dates in London, Manchester, Birmingham, and Glasgow.
Singles The lead single, "Ghost", was released on 24 September. Its accompanying music video premiered at 17:00 BST and was directed by Thomas James.
