Source-derived summary

Megan: Act II is a reissue of American rapper Megan Thee Stallion's third studio album, Megan (2024). It was released through Hot Girl Productions and Warner Music Group on October 25, 2024. The album features guest appearances from Flo Milli, Twice, Spiritbox, and RM of BTS, who appears on the track "Neva Play".

Background

In October 2023, Megan Thee Stallion officially left her label 1501 Certified Entertainment, three years after suing the label for allegedly failing to uphold the integrity of and renegotiate her recording contract. The first post-departure project was her third studio album, Megan, released on June 28, 2024. It debuted at number three on the US Billboard 200 and featured the US number-one song "Hiss", the album's second single.

Following the album's release, Megan Thee Stallion promoted "Mamushi" (2024), featuring Japanese musician Yuki Chiba, as the final single from Megan. Later that year, she began teasing a collaboration with a member of the South Korean boy group BTS, having worked with them on a remix of the group's 2021 single "Butter". The collaboration, "Neva Play", featured rapper RM and was released on September 6. The same month, she posted a short video on Instagram that showed her transforming into a butterfly and several photos that read "Act Two" when arranged as a grid.
