III is the third studio album by American singer and songwriter Banks. It was released on July 12, 2019, through Harvest Records. Following the release of her second album The Altar and its accompanying tour, the Altar Tour, Banks began writing material for III over a period of approximately two and a half years, primarily recording at Westlake Recording Studios in Los Angeles. During the process, she wrote around 50 songs before narrowing the track list to 13. The album was produced through collaborations with Buddy Ross, BJ Burton, and Hudson Mohawke. Banks announced the album's title and release date in May 2019, followed by the release of its cover art and track listing. The album was supported by the singles "Gimme", "Look What You're Doing to Me", and "Contaminated", as well as promotional performances and media appearances. In support of the record, Banks embarked on her third headlining concert tour, the III Tour, across North America and Europe. Thematically, III focuses on self-love, emotional growth, and personal transition. The album addresses pain, intimacy, and transformation, while also engaging with cyclical ideas such as beginnings, endings, and rebirth.
