18 Months is the third studio album by Scottish musician Calvin Harris, released on 26 October 2012 by Deconstruction Records, Fly Eye Records and Columbia Records. It is Harris's first studio album where he does not regularly provide the vocals on each song, but instead producing the music and having guest singers sing for him (save for "Feel So Close" and "Iron" with Dutch DJ Nicky Romero), as Harris stated in November 2010 he did intent to sing on his songs anymore. The album also shows a shift from Harris' usual nu disco-style songs, focusing more on an electro house style.

18 Months debuted at number one on the UK Albums Chart, earning Harris his second consecutive number one album in the United Kingdom. It had sold over 815,636 copies in the UK as of November 2014. The album included the singles "Bounce", "Feel So Close", "Let's Go", "We'll Be Coming Back", "Sweet Nothing", "Drinking from the Bottle", "I Need Your Love" and "Thinking About You", all of which, along with "We Found Love" featuring Rihanna, reached the top 10 of the UK Singles Chart, making 18 Months the first album in history to spawn nine top 10 singles. The songs "Let's Go" and "Sweet Nothing" were nominated for Best Dance Recording at the 55th and 56th Grammy Awards, respectively.
