Nonetheless is the fifteenth studio album by Pet Shop Boys, scheduled to be released on 26 April 2024 through the band's own label x2 and Parlophone. It was produced by James Ford and mostly recorded at his East London studio. The orchestra and backing vocals were recorded at The Church studio in North London. Their first album for Parlophone since Elysium in 2012, its four-year gap with Hotspot (2020) marks their longest period between studio albums to date. It was preceded by the single "Loneliness", released alongside the album announcement.

In a statement, the Pet Shop Boys expressed that they wanted the album, both its dance tracks and ballads, "to be a celebration of the unique and diverse emotions that make us human", and called the 10 tracks "the strongest indicators of where we are today". They also expressed that producer James Ford had "dared" them to make their "sometimes quite complicated" demos more minimal in arrangement. Neil Tennant also shared that "every track has an orchestra on it".

The album will be released in a variety of formats, including digitally, and physically on CD and multiple variants of coloured vinyl. The 2-CD and double white vinyl editions will include a four-track EP titled Furthermore with new recordings of "Heart", "Being Boring", "Always on My Mind" and "It's a Sin".
