In an interview with ABC Cole said the album is "personal" saying "Lioness is a reflection on my marital status. I never used to write love songs, because I didn't identify with them and it took until age 40 to find love properly... and I'm so much better off and a better person because of it". [2]

At the 2019 Country Music Awards of Australia, Lioness was nominated for Traditional Country Album of the Year. [3]

At the 2019 Australian Independent Awards, Lioness won Best Independent Country Album. [4]
