Upon released, Walker said the album won't end with this current set of tracks, as new tracks 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".
