Normani is not done with her solo career after teasing 'the best is yet to come'
The Fifth Harmony star has reflected on the release of the star-studded 2024 record - which featured Starrah, Gunna, James Blake and Cardi B, with contributions from Brandy and Victoria Monét - and hinted more solo music is to come.
The 29-year-old singer also admitted the LP got her through "some of the most challenging moments" of her life so far.
Normani wrote on her Instagram Story to mark the milestone on June 14: "HAPPY ONE YEAR DOPAMINE you were such a labor of love and carried me through some of the most challenging moments in my life. thank you to everyone involved and most importantly my fans. I LOVE YOU and the best is still YET TO COME. (sic)"
Meanwhile, in March, the Wild Side singer's engagement to sportsman DK Metcalf was revealed when the wide receiver described his fiancee while celebrating his trade to the Pittsburgh Steelers in the 2025 NFL Draft.
In a video posted on Instagram, the 27-year-old footballer said: 'Shoutout to my beautiful fiancée for being here with me. Can't wait to step onto the field with the rest of the Black and Gold Nation.'
The post also included two photos of the pair posing alongside a Steelers helmet, with Normani offering a brief glimpse of her ring.
And during a press conference, DK - whose real name is DeKaylin Zecharius Metcalf - showed off his partner's sparkler, urging her to "hold that rock up, baby".
The former Seattle Seahawks player revealed he had popped the question in front of both of their families.
He said: 'My family and her family was in Houston.
"It was my sister's spring break and [I] just thought about getting the whole family together for a big kumbaya and joining our families with a ring.'
The singer confirmed her relationship with DK on Instagram in July 2023, and later revealed they had been introduced by Ciara and her husband, Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Russell Wilson.
She told Apple Music: 'We actually met through Ciara and Russ. If you could trust a couple [to set you up], that would be the couple.'

Credit: Instagram / TheWest This great little cafe in the Poolgarla Family Area of Kings Park is adjacent to some serious playground action, which is especially good if you have slightly older kids you can watch from a distance while lingering over a coffee. Their menu is full of cafe classics and they are licensed, too. North Perth Maybe don't descend on this tiny cafe with your entire mothers group, as squeezing in a pram would take some doing. But if you want to stay central, grab some breakfast and have a toddler in tow, Hank's is where to go. This cute-as cafe has a great little play area with Duplo and a few little toys and books to keep them entertained while you enjoy their excellent coffee. Bassendean Holly Rayes cafe.

Drake reveals where his son was conceived
Drake loves Amsterdam because his son was conceived there. The God's Plan hitmaker - who has seven-year-old Adonis with artist Sophie Brussaux - performed in the Dutch city on Wednesday (30.07.25) and told the audience the city will always hold a "very special place" in his heart for very personal reasons. In a video shared to X by a fan, Drake could be heard saying: 'I was saying backstage, I was saying that this is the place. A very special place in my heart. Because this is where my son was conceived. "So this is a big show for me, you know? I hold Amsterdam very dear to my heart. "There would be no Adonis if there wasn't an Amsterdam, so shoutout to y'all.' In November, Drake shared a sweet note on Instagram which his son had given him, in which the youngster thanked his dad for "giving [him] such a good life". The brief letter, which was handwritten in blue and red ink read: 'Thank you for giving me such a good life and a good family. 'I love you dad. 'Adonis to Dad.' Adonis - who speaks French and English - splits his time living in France with his mom, as well as in Los Angeles and Toronto with his dad. Drake revealed in June 2018 that he had a son and he previously admitted it was "freeing" to open up about his little boy. He said: "I posted those pictures. It was great for me. It was great to just share that with the world and I just felt like ... It wasn't even anything I talked to anybody about or anything I planned. I just woke up one morning and I was like, you know what? This is just something that I want to do. I want to be able to go places with my son and share memories with my son. I don't want to feel like just because of a life choice I made to be a 'celebrity' that I got to make everybody live under this blanket. So, I just wanted to free myself of that." The 38-year-old rapper put on a 'SpongeBob SquarePants'-themed birthday party to mark Adonis turning seven earlier this year and shared the photos to Instagram. The father-and-son duo posed in front of a Bikini Bottom backdrop, with Adonis in a bright yellow t-shirt, and the Grammy Award-winner rocking an orange 'Fox Racing' long-sleeved shirt. The picture carousel also highlighted Adonis playing soccer with his friends, as well as jumping in a bouncy castle.
