The album was announced on 30 September 2021 alongside the title track. [6]

In a statement the duo said "The best way to describe this album is a combination of where we've been, where we are, and where we're going. As true as it was from our first release, the foundations and glue for all our work has consistently been 'collaboration'. While our musical journey has always been an intentional exploration of multiple genres, our hearts and roots lie on the dance floor. We applied that same explorative ethos to this record, taking a concerted delve into the previously untouched niches and eras of dance. It's been a long time coming, and only the same time will tell if it was worth the wait." [6]

The album was be supported by the Forever Tour, commencing in Perth on 12 March 2022. [7]

At the AIR Awards of 2022, the album won Best Independent Dance or Electronica Album or EP. [8] [9]
