The album was preceded by Cornell's cover of Guns N' Roses' "Patience", released as a single on July 20, 2020, in honor of his 56th birthday.[2] The single became Cornell's first solo song to hit No. 1 on Billboard's Mainstream Rock chart.[3]
Cornell had also previously released "Stay with Me Baby" for the HBO series Vinyl, for which he was influenced by Terry Reid's version.[4] Cornell's wife Vicky Cornell said in a statement: "This album is so special because it is a complete work of art that Chris created from start to finish. [...] He couldn't wait to release it."[2]
The album's title is a line from the Soundgarden song "Black Hole Sun".
Physical versions of the album will be released on March 19, 2021.[5]
