Joyride is the third studio album by American singer Tinashe. It was released through RCA Records on April 13, 2018. Following her 2014 debut album Aquarius and her 2016 album Nightride, the creation of Joyride is marked as complex development period spanning over three years, during which Tinashe recorded an estimated 100 songs and dealt with multiple challenges, such as record label decisions and changes to the album's proposed singles. Tinashe stated that the album's title reflects her career as "an adventure, a journey, a ride" following years of constant travel and experience.
Joyride features collaborations with Max Martin, Metro Boomin, and Boi-1da, and was supported by three official singles: "No Drama" (featuring Offset), "Faded Love" (featuring Future), and "Me So Bad" (featuring Ty Dolla Sign and French Montana). Critically, it received generally positive reviews from music critics, earning an average score of 66 out of 100 on Metacritic. The album underperformed commercially, selling less than 5,000 copies first-week, debuting at number 58 on the US Billboard 200 and number 78 on the UK Albums Chart, although it was Tinashe's first album to chart in countries including Canada and the Netherlands.
