The announcement comes after the start of a brand-new era with “Mr. Know It All,” an instantly catchy and deceptively breezy cut about the pain of romantic self-sabotage. Listen HERE via Warner Records – and watch the visualizer HERE.

“Mr. Know It All” mixes vintage grooves, ’80s rock hook-craft, and lush modern production to build a moody but cool backdrop for Swims’ soul-searching lyrics. Amid sharp pizzicato strings and pillowy guitar, Swims delivers the brutal chorus: “Shoulda told you I could see this coming, like I’m lookin’ right into a crystal ball / When I fall in love it’s with misfortune, oh, I wish I wasn’t Mr. Know It All.”

Swims performed the song live for the first time last Friday at his star studded mainstage Coachella set – which featured appearances from David Lee Roth, Joe Jonas, and Vanessa Carlton. Tune into Teddy Swims’ set at 8:20 p.m. ET on Friday April 25 on the Coachella Livestream HERE.

Last year was especially monumental for Swims, who wrapped a sold-out global tour, earned his second career GRAMMY® nod, and made history with his Diamond-certified smash “Lose Control,” which set the record for the longest-running Billboard Hot 100 hit after spending 112 weeks on the chart (and it only left due to a rule meant to make room for others). In addition to topping the Hot 100 and five radio formats, the hit has surpassed five billion global streams.

Taking a much deserved victory lap, Swims also released his I’ve Tried Everything But Therapy (Complete Edition) in 2025. The definitive and dynamic 32-track collection unveiled the full vision behind his blockbuster two-part debut album, arriving with six previously unheard tracks. Among those was the emotional “God Went Crazy,” which inspired UPROXX to write, “I could see this lovey-dovey ballad still making waves years down the line at weddings and such.”

Swims also included a song about his newborn son, “Small Hands,” adding extra significance to a tracklist that traces his wild rise across a series of enduring singles from his record-breaking sets I’ve Tried Everything But Therapy (Part 1) and (Part 2). Among those: “Bad Dreams,” “Guilty,” “Are You Even Real” with GIVĒON, “The Door,” and, of course, “Lose Control.”

Still in full stride, Swims recently teamed with DJ/producer David Guetta and Tones And I for “Gone Gone Gone,” a chart-climbing ode to the pull of toxic love driven by undeniable dance-floor rhythms and gospel energy. He also joined Summer Walker for “Allegedly.”

Swims opened the year announcing his Summer 2026 East Coast headline dates alongside a run of major festival appearances. Before kicking off his string of headliners in Uncasville, CT – and after Coachella – Swims will perform at Stagecoach, BottleRock, New Orleans Jazz Fest, and Bonnaroo before his string of headline European shows.

With a meteoric climb behind him, “Mr. Know It All” out now, and a handful of thrilling dates ahead, Swims is embarking on what looks to be his biggest, boldest, and brightest era yet.
