Two years after the release of Grandson's debut studio album, Death of an Optimist , in February 2023, he began teasing a new single, lyrics and the album. [4] On February 28, 2023, the single titled "Eulogy" was released and a tour was announced to begin May 12, 2023, just a week after the album's release date. [5] The track's lyrics delve into the overwhelming situations of life on the internet. In March 2023, grandson released the second single, "Drones", and announced the release date for the album of May 5, 2023, along with the cover art. [6] "Something to Hide" was released as the third single in April 2023, with the song reflecting on his family life and personal relationships. [7]

In June 2023, Alternative Press published an unranked list of the top 25 albums of the year to date and included this release, calling it "a foray into the personal". [8]
