18 years after her debut album, Paris Hilton makes her long-awaited return to music with her new LP, “Infinite Icon.”
The 43-year-old singer and socialite released her self-titled album, “Paris,” in 2006, which featured cult hits such as “Stars Are Blind” and “Nothing in This World.”
Hilton has since released several singles, including 2013's “Good Time,” 2015's “High Off My Love” and 2020's “I Blame You,” and has also made guest appearances on tracks by Sia and Steve Aoki, but she hasn't released a proper follow-up to her first album until the Sept. 6 release of “Infinite Icon.”
Hilton first teased her sophomore album last year, following the release of “Hot One,” the LP's first single.
“I was immediately inspired and knew I had to make this record,” she told Rolling Stone last June. “I went to Sunset Sound Studios and recorded three songs in just one day! It was magical!”
On her podcast “Call Her Daddy” in December 2023, she declared that her next album was “coming out to save pop music.”

“I was in the studio [with] “Sia was the executive producer on my album,” Hilton said. “I love her.”
She praised Sia as “the most incredible songwriter of our time,” adding that “Like I'm Gonna Lose You” singer Meghan Trainor also wrote several songs on the “epic” new album.
Hilton's return to music has been going strong since she made a surprise performance of “Stars Are Blind” with Sia and Miley Cyrus at NBC's Miley's 2022 New Year's Eve Party.

She later released an updated version of the song featuring Kim Petras.
Earlier this week, Hilton shared a sweet response to other moms after her swimming video of her son Phoenix going viral for wearing a life jacket. In a video posted to TikTok, Hilton can be seen floating in a lazy river with her son in her arms.
In the comments section, one mum warned that Paris Madonna star Phoenix was wearing his life jacket upside down.
“Oh! Thank you! I didn't take him off my arm. [I] “I thought it was the other way around too,” Hilton explains. “I told the person who bought it and they said it was correct, but thank you so much for letting me know.”
