Work for Cuts & Bruises began while touring for their debut album It Won't Always Be Like This in early 2022. Of the process, band member Elijah Hewson told Billboard: "I think we learned a lot of lessons on [It Won't Always Be Like This], and I think when we came into the second we had a better picture of how we wanted to do things. [...] I think the main thing we said is we wanted less information, to let the songs breathe a bit. I think we were just more confident, and you don't have to add as much if you are confident in the songs and material. And that was the basis of what we went off and I think it guided us pretty well".[2]
The album's lead single, "These Are the Days", was released on 7 June 2022.[3] The second single, "Love Will Get You There", was released on 13 October 2022.[4] The third single, "If You're Gonna Break My Heart", was released on 1 February 2023.[5]
