Welcome to the Madhouse is the debut studio album by Australian singer and songwriter Tones and I, released on 16 July 2021 through Bad Batch Records.

[10] In an interview with MTV News, she said the album would be predominantly self-produced, saying: "These songs are completely me and my own production.

"[10] Watson chose to add five additional songs to the record as a result of having spare time to do so.

Watson began recording for her debut album in early 2020, before suffering delays as a result of the Stage Four lockdown in Melbourne, which was enforced due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
