Before the album was released, several singles were dropped over the course of a couple months. The first single, "123456", was released on March 20, 2019.[3] A music video was released on the same day. The next one to be released was "Don't Ever Let 'Em" on April 17, 2019. This song was then followed by "I Need Help!", which was released on May 2, 2019. On June 28, the album was officially announced and able to be pre-ordered, and a song of the same name, "All the Feels", was also released on the same day. The music video "sees Fitz gain a brighter outlook on life after receiving (non-graphic) open-heart surgery."[4] Another song, "I Just Wanna Shine", was released on July 14, 2019. The album was released on September 20.
In an interview, when asked his purpose in making the album, Fitzpatrick said he and the band "[had] been releasing songs every couple weeks." He continued, "[We're] giving people a preview of what it's gonna be like. What's really great is that you get to play it for your fans and right then and there, you kind get a get a sense of what they're feeling and the reaction has been amazing. We worked really hard on this record," he explained. "It's a big record, like 17 songs long, but we wanted to do all the feels." The band actually started with 80 songs and narrowed it down.[2]
Billboard described the album as deep and emotional compared to the band's other works, with some of the "most raw of the songs they've released so far, with a pulsating melody to match the vulnerable - yet uplifting - lyrics like "We dive right into the deep end/ You win, you lose/ You get back up and try again."[4] Another news magazine described the title track "All the Feels" as a song "about wanting more out of a relationship, really trying to feel a connection with somebody," and considered it to be a great summer song.[5]
