Production

The album featured a stripped-back production compared to the trio's previous albums.[2] The album was recorded over four days during a gap in the group's touring schedule in 2021, and is a collection of live recordings performed at Roundhead Studios in Auckland.[3][1] The songs the trio selected to cover for the album represent songs from their childhoods, to help their audience understand where their musical influences came from.[1]

Release and promotion

The first single from the album was their cover of Prince Tui Teka's "E Ipo",[2] which was released on 21 October.[4] Sol3 Mio performed the Coming Home Tour in October 2022, performing four dates across New Zealand including Spark Arena in Auckland and the Michael Fowler Centre in Wellington.[5]
