Background

This first installment of the album features 10 tracks (5 of which are brand new) that blend dance music with electropop.

However, unlike previous albums, the Walkerworld doesn't end with this current set of tracks, as Walker announced a new set of tracks that will be released in this album monthly until late 2024, [1] starting with "Fire", a collaboration with Jvke and Song Yuqi (from (G)I-dle) released in December 2023. [2]

Walker spoke about the album that: "...heralds the introduction of an innovative and immersive chapter in the World of Walker . Not too long ago, I sat in my childhood bedroom and dreamt of creating music that could touch people's hearts and leave a lasting impact. I am incredibly grateful to continue this journey and step into this new phase with the support of an exceptional group of talented artists, creatives, and community. This release is a milestone for every individual who has joined me on this incredible ride over the past eight years. My hope is that the album brings a sense of happiness to all who listen to it".
