Today, Bryan Adams announces How's It Goin', his new studio album and a deeply personal musical love letter to Canada, arriving November 6, 2026, via Bad Records. Pre-save here.

The album's release coincides with the start of his tour of Spain, where he'll perform in seven cities across the country. He'll play on November 6 at the Palacio de Deportes in Murcia, on November 7 at the Pabellón Príncipe Felipe in Zaragoza, on November 8 at the Roig Arena in Valencia, on November 10 at the Movistar Arena in Madrid, on November 13 at the Bizkaia Arena - BEC! in Bilbao, on the 14 at the Palau Sant Jordi in Barcelona, and on November 16 at the Coliseum in A Coruña. Tickets for these concerts can be purchased via doctormusic.com.

Rooted in the people, places, landscapes and stories that have shaped the country, How's It Goin' sees Adams turn his unmistakable songwriting and voice towards home. Drawing on country, folk and rock, the album explores a distinctly Canadian musical landscape - at once expansive and intimate, cinematic and personal.

For Bryan Adams, the album began with a single song inspired by Canada's east coast and grew into something much bigger: a collection of stories about the country he has called home throughout his life.

"The idea was simply to make a record about Canada," says Adams. "It started with writing the song for the documentary "Canada's Wild Eastern Edge" and after doing so much research, I was inspired to start writing more songs about Canada. Musically it took me somewhere a little different too, which made the whole thing exciting."

That sense of discovery runs throughout How's It Goin'. From landscapes and history to extraordinary characters and moments in the Canadian story, Adams finds inspiration in the familiar and the unexpected, creating an album that celebrates the country through his own distinctly personal lens.

Among the album's 12 songs are 'Diesel and Dirt,' 'How's It Goin',' 'Iron Ribbon,' 'The Battle of Lundy's Lane,' '51st State' and 'The Ballad of Terry Fox.'

One of the album's most poignant moments is 'The Ballad of Terry Fox,' Adams' tribute to one of Canada’s most inspirational figures. The song will also feature in the forthcoming documentary film about Terry Fox, "Run Terry Run."

At its heart, How's It Goin' is about home: the vast landscapes, the characters, the history, the humour, the resilience and the stories that make Canada what it is. It is Adams looking back at the country that shaped him while discovering new ways to tell its stories.

The album features 12 songs and will be released across CD and LP, with the LP housed in a gatefold sleeve with printed inner sleeves, obi and shrink wrap. A special A4 hardback book edition will also be available, featuring the album on CD, song lyrics and images connected to the stories and subjects explored across the record.
