Sivan described the "concept EP" as "A story that's still unfolding, this small collection of songs explores an emotional rollercoaster period in my life when the feelings and thoughts were most shockingly fresh. Revisiting these songs and moments is tough, but I'm proud of this music and excited to have it out in the world."[2]

Release and promotion

"Take Yourself Home" was released as the lead single from the EP on 1 April 2020 on a whim by Sivan during the 2020 coronavirus pandemic; it was initially accompanied by a lyric video directed by Lanning Sally and followed by nine lyric videos of different languages made with the help of numerous artists and a "Live From Home" video.[3] The second single, "Easy", was released on 15 July 2020 and a music video for the track was released directed by Sivan himself.[4] The third single, "Rager Teenager!", was released by surprise on 5 August 2020 along with a self-directed music video.[5]
