Knees Up

Knees Up is the eighth studio album by English singer Olly Murs. It was released on 21 November 2025 via BMG Rights Management. It reached number five on the UK Albums Chart.

Release

The album was preceded by the lead single "Save Me", released in April 2025. Murs confirmed the album's release in October 2025, coinciding with a second single, "Bonkers". A deluxe version of the album includes live recordings of the songs "Troublemaker", "Heart Skips a Beat", "Save Me", and "Dance with Me Tonight".

Critical reception

Entertainment Focus writer Pip Ellwood-Hughes gave the album 2.5 stars out of 5, stating that "there’s nothing wrong with it per se but it’s all just a little bit safe and underwhelming." Emma Clarendon of Love London Love Culture was also mixed, writing that "Overall, there are plenty of highlights on the album but it feels that it is slightly all over the place emotionally and in terms of the tone that means it doesn’t feel quite coherent as a whole."
