Background and release

Justice began working on the stage production and tracklist for Woman Worldwide in June 2016. [5] The album incorporates material from their discography. The duo wrote down every track they released at the time and broke down every song by tempo, key, and how much they wanted to incorporate each song into their live set. [5] [6] As the live set was still being finalized, the band rehearsed the live set for months. The band stated they rehearsed their material from two to five hours every day. [5]
