Speaking about the process involved in making the album, Jack Antonoff stated in an exclusive interview with Billboard Philippines on March 8, 2024, stating:

"This album feels like you’re sitting in a room with me right now. It’s definitely a new time for Bleachers because it feels like, things are really present, and that things are exciting and opening up for us."
"On this album, I felt terrified to enter a new phase of my life and also scared that it would mean that I wouldn’t be able to take the people who I’ve lost with me. Which isn't true, because you can take them with you and still grow. This record is all about overcoming that fear." The singer continued.

Aside from his work with Bleachers, Jack Antonoff has worked with Taylor Swift, Lorde, and Lana Del Rey. The singer also has a side project titled Red Hearse with Sam Dew and Sounwave.
