Background

Kerser had expressed a desire to record 10 albums in 10 years, but his plan was delayed by the COVID-19 pandemic, which allowed him three years to finish his final album rather than his usual four-month period between touring.^[1] Kerser stated: "I honestly feel like I reached my full potential on this album."^[2] He also said, "I feel like I covered every Kers style, so it really takes the fans on a journey. [...] My final thank you and my final imprint on the scene I built."^[1]
