On August 28, 2016, all but one of the ten tracks were made available after an error occurred on Apple Music in Denmark. The single that was meant to be available, "33 “GOD”", was the only song unavailable, until the day after, when the album was officially leaked in full following the single's international release, barely over a month before its official release date of September 30. Even after it was taken down in Denmark, low quality MP3s and zip files began circulating on the Internet.
