The album is their first full-length release since Caracal in 2015, and subsequently their first major release since Ecstasy, an EP consisting of five songs later included on the deluxe edition of Energy. The deluxe edition also includes the duo's two hit singles with American singer-songwriter Khalid, "Talk" (previously released on Khalid's second studio album Free Spirit) and "Know Your Worth". In addition, the album features collaborations with several singer-songwriters, including Kelis, Channel Tres, Aminé, Slowthai, Mick Jenkins, Fatoumata Diawara, Blick Bassy, Kehlani, Syd, and Common.

After experiencing delays, Energy was ultimately released in the summer of 2020 due to its "positive messages" that Disclosure hoped would resonate with people during the COVID-19 pandemic. The album received generally positive reviews from music critics, who complimented the duo's musical diversity and strong collaboration choices, though some highlighted lyrical weaknesses. Energy's sound has been described as house mixed with elements of dance, R&B, and international music such as African-influenced stylings.

The album was nominated for Best Dance/Electronic Album at the 63rd Annual Grammy Awards. The song "My High" was nominated for the Grammy Award for Best Dance Recording at the 2021 Grammy Awards.
