Conan Gray’s surprise fourth album, Wishbone, has arrived — and has already taken its place among the most polished releases of 2025 so far. Released on August 15 via Republic Records, the project marks a deeply personal return to the 26-year-old singer-songwriter’s roots, blending intimate storytelling with the lush, melodic production that made him a global pop sensation.
Written over two quiet years between tours and late-night hotel sessions, Wishbone captures Conan at his most vulnerable yet self-assured. Working once again with longtime collaborator Dan Nigro — alongside Ethan Gruska, Noah Conrad, Luka Kloser, and Elvira — Conan crafts 12 tracks that explore the dizzying highs and fragile lows of first love. The result is a collection that feels both nostalgic and refreshingly new, giving fans a glimpse into his deepest emotions.
From stripped-back ballads to cinematic pop anthems, Wishbone delivers the emotional honesty that has defined Conan’s career, while offering a richer, more grounded perspective. To celebrate its release, we’re ranking all 12 songs on the album.
