On September 30, 2021, Wallows released the lead single, "I Don't Want to Talk", along with a music video and North American tour dates. [1] On December 5, 2021, Wallows announced the album title and teased four snippets of audio tracks on a new website. [2] The album's second single, "Especially You", and its music video were released on February 3, 2022.

Filmmaker and photographer Jason Lester directed each music video released for Tell Me That It's Over.
Tell Me That It's Over was produced by band members Braeden Lemasters, Cole Preston, and Dylan Minnette, along with multi-Grammy winner Ariel Rechtshaid. Lemasters described the album to "American Songwriter" as “a result of the relationships we’ve had, and love, and being more of an adult, and what that means and the seriousness of it, versus the loss of innocence entering adulthood of our first album.”
Unlike with their debut album Nothing Happens, Tell Me That It’s Over came together over time with a return to some 2018 demos and some newer material. [5] Wallows spent most of 2021 making the album. [6]
The sixth track on the album, "Permanent Price", features vocals from Lydia Night, lead vocalist for The Regrettes and, at the time, long-time girlfriend of Dylan Minnette.

[9] Wallows resumed their tour on May 15 in Austin, TX. The band will be touring throughout 2022 and into 2023, with stops at festivals including Bonnaroo and Arts Music Festival, Lollapalooza, Reading Festival, and Leeds Festival.
