Heidi Montag

Heidi Montag channels an enduring love for music into confident, dancefloor-oriented pop that long predated her reality-television fame. After wrapping her six-season stint on MTV’s The Hills, she issued her first album, Superficial, in 2010; the set reached the Billboard Heatseekers Albums chart and yielded the club favorite “More Is More.” Renewed interest in Y2K pop during the late 2010s turned Superficial into a cult favorite. When her 2010 song “I’ll Do It” exploded across social platforms in 2023, Montag capitalized by reissuing tracks such as “Body Language” and “Touch Me” in 2024 while adding fresh material. In January 2025, weeks after the Pacific Palisades fire destroyed her home, she returned to the charts with the expanded follow-up Superficial 2: Heidiwood Edition.

A native of Colorado, Montag first appeared on national television as a teenager on MTV’s Laguna Beach: The Real Orange County. She took a larger role in the spinoff series The Hills, which ran from 2006 to 2010 and established her as a household name. While filming, she began cutting tracks influenced by Britney Spears and Janet Jackson, issuing the independent singles “No More” in 2007 and 2008. In April 2009 she released her debut EP, Wherever I Am, on her own, then made her Warner debut that August with “Body Language,” which she performed at the Miss Universe pageant before a global television audience of one billion.

Superficial, her first full-length Warner release, arrived in January 2010. The Runners, whose credits include Pitbull and Nicki Minaj, and Chris Rojas, known for Big Time Rush, handled much of the production, while Cathy Dennis and Stacy Barthe contributed songs. The album charted on Billboard’s Heatseekers Albums list, and Dave Audé’s remix of “More Is More” climbed to a Top 30 dance position. Montag followed with standalone singles “Sex Ed” and “Trash Me.”

She self-released the EP Dreams Come True in June 2012 and resurfaced with the 2019 single “Glitter and Glory.” After “I’ll Do It” amassed billions of social-media streams in 2023, she reissued “Body Language,” “Bad Boy,” and “Touch Me” across 2023 and 2024. Alongside her television work and the podcast Speidi’s 16th Minute, co-hosted with her husband Spencer Pratt, Montag began preparing new recordings. In January 2025 the couple lost their home in the Palisades fire; that same month an anniversary edition of her debut and the expanded Superficial 2: Heidiwood Edition, containing twelve newly recorded tracks, topped streaming charts.
