A is Fältskog's first album since 2004's My Colouring Book, an album of cover versions of her favourite songs from the 1960s, and the first original material she had recorded since I Stand Alone in 1987. It also includes her first self-penned track in nearly 30 years, "I Keep Them on the Floor Beside My Bed".

A+, a reissue of the album, was released on 13 October 2023. The reissue has 11 reimagined versions of the album tracks and a new single, "Where Do We Go from Here?". The latter is Fältskog's first new material in 10 years.

On 27 September 2023, Faltskog's various social media accounts announced that the A+ version of 'I Should've Followed You Home' would be released on the 29th September 2023. On 6 October 2023, two further re-recorded tracks ("Dance Your Pain Away" and "Perfume in the Breeze") were released as part of the Music From A+ EP.
