for the night Lyrics – Madison Beer | from “locket”

Madison Beer is teasing that intimate late-night glow with for the night, a standout from her third studio album locket, dropping January 16, 2026, via Epic Records and Sing It Loud, and it’s already shaping up as one of those tracks you loop when you’re caught in your own head.

This one, co-produced by Madison herself alongside Leroy Clampitt (the wizard behind Olivia Rodrigo’s gut-punchers and Sabrina Carpenter’s sticky hooks), lands like a velvet hammer: breathy vocals floating over piano swells and subtle synth pulses that build to a chorus drop you feel in your ribs. It’s her signature alt-pop polish—think the confessional edge of Silence Between Songs, but softer, more unguarded, with R&B curls sneaking in like uninvited thoughts. Thematically, it’s vulnerability dialed to eleven: that headache-floor-sprawl of bad days, the frantic dial for someone to “put me back together,” even if it’s just a temporary fix. No shame in the weakness here; it’s a siren call to lean into the mess, secrets be damned, because who hasn’t craved a night off from the armor?

Locket announced back in October, and the rollout’s been clever—Madison sent actual heart-shaped lockets to fans with track titles inside, building hype organically on her socials. The 11-song tracklist includes openers like “locket theme,” singles “yes baby,” “bittersweet,” and “make you mine,” plus deeper cuts like “angel wings,” “bad enough,” and this one at number four. Fans can pre-save it on Spotify for the full lineup and instant alerts when it hits—it’s already got everyone marking calendars.

Madison’s hitting this peak right now. After Silence Between Songs earned that Grammy nod and packed arenas, she’s leaned harder into co-producing and directing her vision, turning personal chapters into something universal. At 26, with hits like “Make You Mine” still charting and that Victoria’s Secret stage moment fresh, locket feels like her sealing old eras while opening new ones—more confident, more intentional, and ready to wear her heart right out in the open.
