The album has seen frequent delays, with intended releases including 2015, 2016, and 2018,[1] with the current target date being in 2020. To promote the record, Ferreira released the single "Downhill Lullaby" in March 2019 and has teased a slew of other songs off the record.

Background
In an interview with Paper magazine in 2018, Ferreira said the album was seeing frequent delays due to her being a "perfectionist".[2] Among other issues, Ferreira has expressed frustration with her label over creative control of her music and the artistic direction they want to steer her in.[3] Ferreira famously took to the internet to ask help in regaining control of her SoundCloud account which her label assumed responsibility for and changed her password to. While on a release hiatus, Ferreira has performed at music festivals, walked runways as a model, and acted in the film Baby Driver and the show Twin Peaks.
In May 2019, Ferreira released her the first single from Masochism, "Downhill Lullaby".[4] The single was followed by the release of a cover of "Voices Carry" on SoundCloud in July.[5] Ferreira formally announced her album release again during summer 2019.[6][7] In an interview with Pitchfork, Ferriera mentioned that "Downhill Lullaby" and a new song titled "Don't Forget" would both be on the record.[8] In July 2019, Ferreira premiered a song titled “Descending” during her set at Pitchfork Music Festival in Chicago.[9] In October, Ferreira expressed plans to release music before the end of the decade (2010s), though no new music was released.
