Bracing for Impact is the second extended play by Welsh singer and songwriter Catty. It was released on 24 October 2025 through AWAL. The lead single, "Joyride", was released in May 2025. It was followed by singles "Prized Possession", "4am (Back in His Bed)" and "Make You Love Me". Catty co-wrote the entire EP with Juliette Edward and Nathan Challinor; Challinor also produced every track.
Catty was inspired by musical theatre productions including Chicago throughout the EP, as well as Kate Bush, Stevie Nicks and Meat Loaf. Bracing for Impact saw Catty depart from writing breakup songs; the lyrical content instead explores themes of queer love, desire, pain, discovery of feelings, resilience and hope. It was praised for being "a total embodiment of queer life".
