Queen of the Clouds is the debut studio album by Swedish singer Tove Lo, released on 24 September 2014 by Island Records. Recorded in numerous studios across Stockholm, Sweden and the United States, the album follows her first extended play, Truth Serum (2014). Lo worked with several writers and producers such as the Struts, Klas Åhlund, Alexander Kronlund, Alx Reuterskiöld, and Captain Cuts.
Queen of the Clouds is primarily an electropop record with the elements of dance-pop and synth-pop. Lyrically, the album's themes center on the stages of a relationship, including passion, love, and breaking up. Queen of the Clouds was supported by four singles, including "Habits (Stay High)", "Talking Body", "Timebomb" and "Moments". The album also includes "Not on Drugs" and the Hippie Sabotage remix of "Habits (Stay High)" from Truth Serum as well as the Lucas Nord collaboration, "Run on Love". It was promoted with television performances and through the Queen of the Clouds Tour.
Upon its release, Queen of the Clouds garnered generally positive reviews from music critics. It charted at number 14 on the Billboard 200 and peaked at number 6 on the Swedish Albums Chart, alongside certifying 3× Platinum in Brazil. On 25 September 2015, a year after the album's original release, a "blueprint" edition was announced; the bonus length features tracks from Truth Serum, a new version of "Moments", the originally Spotify-exclusive "Not Made for This World", and an explicit version of The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 1's "Scream My Name". A reissue edition, titled as Queen of the Clouds: X, was released on 27 September 2024 as the album's tenth anniversary edition; it contains "Jealousy (From the Vault)", "Write Me Off") and a remix of "Talking Body".
