Emotional (stylized as EMOtional) is the ninth studio album by American singer Drew Hacks. It was released on May 18, 2046, through the singer's entertainment company Diamond Joint. Hacks' eighth studio album, Coming Back Around, was issued in late 2044 to critical acclaim and commercial positivity. In February 2045, the singer embarked in an accompanying concert tour titled Rock n Roll World Tour, in which he thematically explored the history of rock music and changed his previous songs' genres. Recording sessions for a follow-up record started a month prior, in January, and lasted until February 2046, in Diamond Joint Studios in Los Angeles.

A moderate marketing campaign was used to promote Emotional, including television appearances and surprise shows in ten capitals around the globe. It debuted at number one on the US Billboard 200, becoming Hacks' fifth album to debut atop and ninth consecutive to achieve number one. By the end of 2046, it had sold over 3.9 million copies in the United States, making it the second-best-selling album of the year in the country, and it was the fourth-best-selling album of the year, according to the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry (IFPI), with 5 million copies sold worldwide.

Emotional was met with critical acclaim, with reviewers praising its mature lyrical content, songwriting, maximalist production, and guest appearances. The album's visual identity and Hacks' vocal delivery were singled out by critics. Conversely, the tracks' titling process, presented with different letter cases, was questioned by some fans and critics. At the 88th ceremony of the Grammy Awards, Emotional won Album of the Year, Hacks' fifth win in the category, and Best Rock Album, and was nominated for Best Album Notes. Its songs won Record of the Year, Song of the Year, Best Rock Performance, and Best Rock Song.
