Background

About works on the album, Claudio revealed that "we really had no idea where we'd end up...we were just creating because it felt good".

The singer exclusively worked with singer-songwriter Nasri Atweh and producer Kaveh Rastegar on the album. She described the work with the former as "easy because I was with him". According to Claudio, the goal is "to put people in their feelings". The album was preceded by the single "Warm December" which was released on November 20, 2020.
