It is the band's first studio album in nearly five years, since 2016’s First Ditch Effort, marking the longest gap between two NOFX studio albums; between 2016 and 2021, however, the band did release a series of one-off singles and a split album West Coast vs. Wessex (2020), which saw NOFX cover five Frank Turner songs. The album was originally going to be released as a double album, but the COVID-19 pandemic prompted the band to release just a single album, hence the title. Fat Mike has further elaborated that the intended second disc of the album did not receive positive feedback and thus it was scrapped.
