The title track and lead single features a sample from the 2008 film Step Brothers.[1]

Upon announcement in July 2023, Stone said, "This record is everything that's me. In the past, the artwork has been anonymous in a way because I was trying to explore these styles, and having this shield in front of me was beautiful – I could sort of slink around in the shadows and wouldn't have the public make judgement on the person behind it. This record, I had moments of clarity reflecting on my childhood, and I was able to see where I want to be in the future. So putting myself on the cover just felt right."[2]

The album was supported with two shows on 14 and 15 September 2023; one at The Forum, Melbourne and one at the Sydney Opera House.[3]
