Background

Talking about the collaboration and releasing an album together, Sub Focus and Wilkinson said, "We first linked up to make a track called 'Take It Up' in 2018 and we were really encouraged by the response. We headlined a big festival in the UK together and really saw the potential of us extending the partnership [...] we just didn't feel like anything that ambitious in terms of albums was being made in drum 'n' bass at the time and that became our mission for this record."[2]

"Illuminate" was released as the lead single from the album on 13 September 2019. "Just Hold On" was released as the second single from the album on 24 April 2020.
