The album contains 14 new songs, written and recorded over “an intense 10-day period” in Los Angeles beginning in December of 2024, later finished in London and New York, per the official release.

The cover art and illustrations are by Spanish artist Nieves González.
Her last album, No Shame, was released in 2018.
