In a March 2019 interview with Music Week, Anne-Marie provided information on her upcoming second studio album, stating "I love the studio. I was able to get in there and have some sort of therapy with my own brain for a week and that's going towards the next album". She further commented that "the first album was made up of so many songs that people had heard for years and that's amazing. But for me as a creative person, I'm writing something new all the time and all I want to do is put it out straight away. That wasn't the way it happened with [the debut] album so, for this next one, I'm hoping to be more active on writing and put something out straight away that's fresh and no one's heard before."[29] Anne-Marie featured on the single "Fuck, I'm Lonely" by American singer Lauv for the soundtrack of 13 Reasons Why: Season 3.
