Melanie C is stepping into a new era with purpose. Fresh off the announcement of her upcoming world tour, the singer has returned with “Attitude,” a bold new single that channels confidence, independence, and the kind of fearless energy that has long defined her career. The track is the latest preview of her forthcoming album Sweat, due out May 1st via Virgin Music Group.

“Attitude” feels designed as a statement song. In her own words, Melanie says the track captures “the rush of deciding you’re done shrinking yourself and ready to take up space.” It’s playful and defiant, but also fun, leaning into the idea that self-belief can be both empowering and exhilarating. That balance gives the song a familiar Melanie C edge while still pushing her sound forward.

The release also arrives as she gears up for a major global run of shows. The Melanie C World Tour will kick off in North America this fall, beginning in Montreal on September 8th before moving through major cities including Washington, D.C., New York, Boston, Chicago, Vancouver, Seattle, San Francisco, and Los Angeles. The run wraps in San Diego on September 25th before continuing through the UK, Europe, Asia, and Australia later in the year.

Melanie will also bring her high-energy spirit to OUTLOUD Music Festival at WeHo Pride in Los Angeles this summer, where she’s set to perform a live DJ set alongside a stacked lineup that includes The Pussycat Dolls, JADE, Ava Max, Ashlee Simpson, and more. It’s a fitting booking for an artist who continues to blend pop legacy with club-ready momentum.

Between the new single, the album rollout, and the tour announcement, Melanie C is making it clear that this next chapter is about movement: musically, creatively, and onstage. Sweat looks set to deliver exactly what the title promises: energy, release, and a lot of attitude.
