Dominic Richard Harrison, or commonly known by his stagename, Yungblud, has an album in the works. His fourth studio album, Idols, will be released on June 20, 2025. Harrison has already released the tracklist for the album, and it contains 12 songs in total, with a listening time of over 41 minutes. Yungblud announced the release date for his album on Instagram a few weeks ago. He wrote:

"IDOLS. My fourth studio album. A double album in two parts. The first album to be released on the 20th of June 2025. Our most ambitious adventure yet. I feel so proud and grateful to be able to share it with you. IDOLS is available to PRE ORDER EVERYWHERE NOW. Link in my bio."

Aside from the album, Yungblud also has something exciting for his fans. A few hours ago, he posted a photo of a clapperboard that has his name, the title of his upcoming song Zombie from Idols, along with English actress Florence Pugh's name. He simply captioned the post as:

"Friday. 👀 @florencepugh"

As expected, fans went crazy over this cryptic post. Because of the clapperboard, many assume that Pugh and Harrison are working together on a music video for Zombie. One netizen commented:

"got a feeling that this release is gonna break and also heal me more than i am ready for" - @startariottttt wrote.

How did fans react to Yungblud's cryptic Instagram post featuring Florence Pugh's name?

Yungblud's comment section is filled with theories, imaginary scenarios, and plot lines for the supposed upcoming music video for Zombie. The actress herself commented on Dominic's post. She wrote:

"I’m so proud of you and what we made. Well done babe. 🔥" - @florencepugh said.

Have a look at what fans are cooking up in the comments:

"Plot twist it’s just the movie WarmBodies where she falls in love with that zombie and he becomes human again 💀🖤" - @dradas_mind wrote.
"Scenario: she’s the one singing the song. All bruised up (trauma bruises from the past). He’s leaving but stops up because she gets up on a car singing out the song. Then he finally understands what’s been going on inside her." - @ididntlikeyouanyway commented.

Another fan came up with another scenario. They wrote:

"Dom is the zombie sitting at a bar drinking. Then he meets the love of his life who florenece plays as Jesse Jo. She cures him from the truama and makes him see the best in himself. He realizes the girl is exactly what he needs. He end ends up marrying the girl and happy ever after" - @yungbludglobe elaborated.
"I imagine the Zombie music video showing Dom walking through a dead, colorless world — barely human, becoming a zombie himself. He passes old memories and people who don’t see him anymore. In the chorus, he’s surrounded by others numb and broken, partying through the pain. He’s screaming but unheard." - @abbierayson suggested.

@abbierayson continues the imaginary storyline:

"Near the end, he looks in a mirror and pieces of him start to fall away. Just when he’s about to disappear completely, someone sits beside him — just stays. No words. Just presence. Final shot: his eyes. Still alive. Barely. But still fighting. HOPE YOU LIKE MY SCENARIO," they concluded.

A netizen also commented:

"Scenario one is like a really bad breakup or something happening and the person coping through it all, BUT they could have aspects of a zombie in them and it can show how the hurt etc can make them decay type thing? Yeah" - @crackedact0r wrote.

They added:

"I need this song and video so bad" - @crackedact0r.

Other fans who did not comment on their imaginary scenarios expressed how excited they are for the song, as well as the music to drop.


Assuming from the caption, which says "Friday," the music video (or whatever Dominic and Pugh were working on) will be released on May 30, 2025. Additionally, Yungblud's fourth studio album will be out on June 20, 2025, and his "Idols World Tour 2025" will begin on August 23, 2025, in Los Angeles, California.
