It was writhen and recorded at the musician's home recording studio in Los Angeles during the COVID-19 pandemic, while engineering was handled at Crummett's Interlace Audio Studio in Portland, Oregon.

A headlining US tour was scheduled to take place in February and March 2022, but was postponed to November 2022 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
