Background
It was revealed in November 2015 by Stereogum that Tegan and Sara had completed recording of the then untitled album. The band announced the name of the album on their official Facebook on March 10, 2016, with the official album art released the next day on their official Instagram account.
Recording and production
At the Beats 1 premiere interview, Sara explained the concept behind the album's lead single "Boyfriend":
As Quin explained to DJ Matt Wilkinson, the song details a love triangle she found herself in with a woman who not only hadn't dated another girl before, but was still seeing another man.
"I think that's pretty relatable. Obviously, being gay, there's sort of a bit of a gender twist in the song, and I get that that sometimes doesn't seem immediately relatable to everybody, whether they're straight or whatever.
