Problématique is the second studio album by German singer Kim Petras, released on September 18, 2023, through Amigo and Republic. Originally planned to serve as Petras' major label debut album, Problématique faced multiple pushbacks until it was ultimately scrapped following a mass leak of its songs in 2022. Petras encouraged the fans to listen to the songs and then released her album Feed the Beast in June 2023, but always stated her desire to officially release Problématique one day. During September 2023, Petras posted a schedule of upcoming releases, which included a secret one on September 18—that turned out to be the project's official release.
The album mainly explores themes of love and sex, heavily rooted on the premise of escapism, as the singer conceived the project during the COVID-19 lockdown. Petras described the music as "very European" and "front to back pop", also experimenting with disco, french house and German techno for the songs.
Initially, the singles "Future Starts Now" and "Coconuts" were released in 2021 in support for Problématique, however, the former was scrapped from the final tracklisting, while the latter ended up earning a spot on Feed the Beast.
