Background and singles

Only months after the release of their second studio album Burn the Empire (2022), the band made a "rapturous return" with the lead single "Gloria" on 23 May 2023, which was described as "an anthemic, summer song". [1] The song was the debut release of their newly established independent label Happy Artist Records, distributed by The Orchard, a consequence of the band's discontent with their previous label. [2]

Going into the creative process of a forthcoming record, the band asked themselves if there were any songs they had forgotten to write. As a result, they tapped "into the emotions" they had previously not "processed into music", referred to as the "big boiling points in your life". According to Jack Cochrane, the approach to songwriting was more direct than on previous records. [3] On 27 November, alongside the release of the fourth single "Deep Diving", the band announced Millennials slated for 23 February 2024, accompanied by launch shows at Glasgow Barrowlands the following week. [4] In support of the album, the Snuts will also play a series of shows in the United Kingdom in November and December 2024. [5] A final single "Millionaires", which "takes aim at society's obsession with building a false sense of happiness", was released on 19 January 2024. [6]
