Background and recording

While on tour in promotion for the album I Thought I Was Better Than You (2023), Dury talked with Paul Epworth, who has produced for artists such as Adele and U2, after a set at the 2024 Glastonbury Festival. [6] Expressing interest to the producer that he wished to make a record in a similar pop vein to Charli XCX's Brat (2024), [3] the pair made arrangements to record at Epworth's recording studio the Church in London, finishing the record between December 2024 and the following January. [2] In an interview with NME , Dury explained that the live response to his 2021 collaboration with Fred Again, the dance-oriented "These Are My Friends", caused him to rethink his approach, saying "Before, making narrative-based indie music is a bit of a thoughtful thing and that gets a bit tiring.... Fred Again.. caused a little bit of a shift and I definitely learned a lot about dance music." [6]

Promotion and singles

On 6 May 2025, Dury released a single entitled "Allbarone" with a music video filmed in Venice, Italy and directed by Tom Beard. Accompanied with the song was the announcement of the album, with details including the cover art, track listing, and release date. According to Dury, the title track was the first that he recorded with Epworth. [1] The song, which features vocalist JGrrey, revolves around the UK bar chain All Bar One, from which the single also derives its title. [7]

After releasing "Return of the Sharp Heads" on 17 June, again featuring JGrrey, [4] Dury revealed the third single "Schadenfreude" on 29 July 2025 with a music video directed by Gareth Bowen and produced by Blinkink. [5]
