Background
editAfter four EPs released from 2017 to 2020, Antihero is Huskii's debut album. Although seven tracks and 19 minutes long, it is intended as his first studio album.[1] Huskii said after spending two years "in and out of jail" he had little motivation to write songs, but after getting out and "liv[ing] life" he got back to "being motivated".[2] He said it "made sense" to title the album Antihero because he has "related to antiheroes" and "been an outlier" his "whole life". He further described the album as "proper Sydney music that will live forever".[3]
Singles
editAntihero was supported by two singles.
"Ruin My Life" was released as the lead single on 12 November 2021.[4]
