Background

On 15 September 2019, Lost Frequencies announced via Instagram the release date of the album, also posting a photo of its cover.[1] He later indicated, on 30 September, that he would simultaneously release his track "Before Today" featuring Natalie Slade, which has been played for two years in his sets. He commented the song : "It's very different. It's soulful and warm vocals. It's feels maybe almost like African influences, very gospel-ish, but then it goes into electronic music with the guitar sound."[5] A website of the same name as the album was also created to allow fans to pre-save it and go in the draw to win a vinyl edition.[6] Lost Frequencies said about his album :

Compared to my first album, where I clearly split the laidback vibes and the electronic music, everything is merged in this new album. [The first side] starts off with more organic sounds like guitars and a lot of vocals, mixed with electronic touches. But [the second side] is exploring the tracks, the more club-focused it gets. That is because I grew as an artist over the last two years and now produce a lot of different styles and genres of music. The electronic part of me took more and more of a leading role in my music-making process, and I wanted to make that shine throughout my new album as well ! The overall idea I want people to have when they listen to this album is a positive energy with happy, yet emotional feelings. The name of the album says 'Alive and Feeling Fine', and that's how I want people to feel.

— Lost Frequencies, confessing to Armada Music, [7]

According to him, the name of the album came to him thanks to the lyrics "I'm alive and I'm feeling fine" in the song "Sun Is Shining", which was released in August 2019.[8] The DJ also indicated the presence of one notable collaboration, with his girlfriend who did the vocals on "Sweet Dreams". Even if, according to him, they usually don't work together to avoid mixing work and their private life, he decided to depart from his habits because he liked how she sang them when he was starting to work on the track. Lost Frequencies decided to debut an Alive and Feeling Fine tour to support the opus and she will perform the song live on his tour. He indicated it will be his first live tour, and it also will "feature him DJing and playing the keyboards, as well as having guitarists and a drummer perform alongside him". He added : "I'm really happy to do something like this and [have] this new challenge. We're bringing really a whole story with the show, and I think for me that's a really big step towards a better performance onstage and a better experience for people to enjoy the evening."[5]
