What Could Possibly Go Wrong is the debut studio album by American singer and rapper Dominic Fike. It was originally scheduled for release on July 10, 2020, but due to the Black Lives Matter protests that were occurring at the time it was pushed back three weeks.

## Background

Fike began hinting at an album in the works in early 2019. He kept hinting at this album throughout 2019, and released the singles "Açaí Bowl", "Rollerblades", "Phone Numbers" with Kenny Beats, and "Hit Me Up" with Omar Apollo and Kenny Beats throughout the year. He also collaborated with Brockhampton several times, including on a video uploaded to Brockhampton's YouTube channel titled "This is Dominic Fike". In September 2019, he played a then unreleased song titled "Chicken Tenders" on his Rain or Shine tour.
On June 21, 2020, another video, titled "In-Focus with Dominic Fike", was uploaded to Brockhampton's YouTube channel, in which Fike talked about his upcoming debut album. On June 26, he released "Chicken Tenders", the lead single from his then yet to be named debut album. Then, on July 9, he announced that the album would be titled What Could Possibly Go Wrong and would be released on July 31. He also released the second single "Politics & Violence".
