In December 2025, They Might Be Giants member John Flansburgh announced through their Tumblr that a new EP accompanying their upcoming 24th album would be released, containing 3 unique songs and potentially a remix.

In the December 19, 2025 newsletter, the band confirmed the EP released would be released in January 2026, and its title, along with its release date, were announced on January 5 via social media. The artwork was designed by band member John Flansburgh.

Tracks 1–3 on the EP were released early via their Dial-A-Song service and the They Might Be Giants App.

John Linnell said about Eyeball: [2]

Our favorite way of making records (we still call them that) is to write and record too many songs and then arrange the ones that work together as an album. We always have a bunch of good tracks left over to make an EP. I'm sure there's some exact equivalent process that goes on in the kitchen of a fancy restaurant but I'm just guessing here. Anyway these are the "amuse-bouche" or perhaps "amuse-oreille" tracks that we hope will be an enticing appetizer before the next album emerges from the oven.
