Background and release

On 27 June 2019, several music news outlets started reporting about a MySpace-themed press release received from Fearless Records. The press release consisted of a faux friend request. Clicking the "Accept" button would lead to the Punk Goes... web page, completely restyled to resemble the series' original MySpace page, including posts like “Hi MySpace!1!!! Welcome 2 my bl0g!!”. The page revealed Punk Goes Acoustic Vol. 3 would be the next release in the series. Similar to the "Top 8" feature on MySpace, the Punk Goes... page featured a "Top 12" section, listing the twelve artists featured on the compilation.[2][3]

The day after, acoustic versions of "A Decade Under The Influence" and "Wolf In Sheep's Clothing" by Taking Back Sunday and Set It Off respectively were available on music platforms like Spotify and Apple Music. Apple Music listed the complete tracklist and revealed that the album is set for release on July 26, 2019.[1]
