Melt Away: A Tribute to Brian Wilson

Melt Away: A Tribute to Brian Wilson is the seventh studio album by American musical duo She & Him, a collaboration between Zooey Deschanel and M. Ward. The album was released by Fantasy Records on July 22, 2022. It is a tribute to Brian Wilson, co-founder of the Beach Boys, featuring covers of Beach Boys songs written by Wilson, in addition to featuring Brian Wilson on the track "Do It Again".

Critical reception
Riff felt that the "album's 14 tracks find a sweet spot between the sunny, fun-fun-fun façade of Wilson's music and the anxieties and melancholy that anchor it", while American Songwriter reviewed that "it's an unorthodox tack for a tribute, but it's one that still resonates well."

Track listing
Landy's co-writing credit for "Melt Away", which has been disputed, was removed around 2000. For historical purposes, the songwriting credits for "Melt Away" are as they were originally credited, albeit with a strikethrough for credits that are no longer officially recognized (Landy's).
