Sophie's first studio album, Oil of Every Pearl's Un-Insides was released in 2018 to critical acclaim. Later on, Sophie was nearing completion of her second studio project before her sudden death in 2021. After her death, Sophie's brother Ben Long announced his intention to release the project that she would "be happy with". Up until 2024, posthumous projects by Sophie were sparse, including a collaboration with Jlin titled "Jsloipnhie".
Sophie played "Reason Why" in her live performances before it was leaked in 2019.

On 21 June 2024, an hour-long video, which listed a date for 24 June 2024 at 6:30 PM London Time along with different time zones, was posted to Sophie's YouTube channel.
