The album is the band's first new album since 2015's Guilty as Sin. Guitarist Jackie Chambers elaborated on the album in an exclusive interview with Defenders of Faith on July 7, 2023, stating in response to the question of when the work on the album started coming together:

"I’d like to say we started writing straightaway, but we didn’t *laughs*. In 2015 when we released Guilty as Sin, we were basically promoting it for 2 or 3 years, doing gigs in Europe and wherever. By the time that was finished, we thought we should start writing a new one. Then of course COVID happened."

The guitarist continued:

"By 2021, we thought, rather than rush an album and get one out because so many people were releasing albums, we figured wait and release it for our 45th anniversary.We sat writing riffs and lyrics and stuff like that, so we had things ready. We’re not really organized like that. We didn’t put a lot of thought into it *laughs*."

The guitarist wrapped up her response:

"Eventually, we got together and the rest is history. We recorded it in 2 weeks. We don’t labor over things. It’s not like you sit down and write a song and think, “No one can make a verse like this.” It’s raw rock n’ roll! You just wanna get the feel out and the groove out and the energy out. So yeah, the 45th anniversary, here it is *laughs*."

Girlschool is the longest-running all-female rock band in history, with 2024 being their 46th year as a band. The band started in 1978 and has continued ever since, becoming one of the pioneering bands of the new wave of British heavy metal.
