Background and recording


The album was recorded between Los Angeles, London and Jamaica, with Smith working with regular collaborators Jimmy Napes, Stargate and Ilya Salmanzadeh.[3] Smith stated that the album "feels like a coming of age" and got them "through some dark times", and expressed a hope that it could also be a "beacon" for listeners. A press release called it a "personal revolution" for Smith, containing the "dazzling, sumptuous, sophisticated, unexpected and at times thrilling, edgy sound of Sam's creative heart today", as well as lyrics about "sex, lies, passion, self-expression, and imperfection".[4]


Promotion


The first track to be released from the album was the single "Love Me More" on 28 April 2022.[5] "Unholy", a collaboration with German singer Kim Petras, followed on 22 September 2022 and was promoted as the lead single.[6][7] It reached number one in several countries, including Australia, Canada, the UK and the US,[8] as well as number one on the Billboard Global 200.[9]

Smith announced the album on their social media accounts on 17 October 2022, writing a note to their "dearest sailors", Smith's name for their fans, and sharing the cover art, a portrait of Smith with bleached hair wearing a golden earring of an anchor and pearl.[4]
