Background

The album was first announced by the band on 17 September 2018[1] with the corresponding release of their first single, "Time to Give", which clocked in at 7 minutes, the longest single by the band to date.[2] That same day the release date of 1 February 2019 was announced,[3] as well as the Spring 2019 European tour. On the new album, White Lies described the album as a milestone in their career, as they have been active for a decade. "It marks our decade as a band, which has pushed us to expand our sound and reach new territory artistically — it marks the start of a new and exciting chapter for us."[4]

In describing the song McVeigh felt the track and album had more eclectic and guitar-dominated influences to allow for a more varied record.[5] "We thought it would be something that would work, to have these songs pull you off in a number of different tangents, and taking you to different places. And the production leans towards more guitars on the album. It’s a bit heavier, like how we explored on our first two albums. And we tried to do a few stranger things, with songs like ‘Time To Give’, which was the first song we released."[6]
