Background

[edit]

The album's first single, "The Summer Looks Good on You", was released on May 18, 2018.[7] Though no official release date was announced, the album was initially due for release at the end of 2018 but was ultimately not released that year. The second single, a cover of John Lennon's "Gimme Some Truth", was released on November 29, 2019.[8] The album was completed by 2020 but its release was further delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[9]

On January 28, 2021, a third single, "Light Up the Fire", was released alongside an announcement of the album's title, tracklist, and the April 9 release date.[10] Later, on March 11, 2021, a fourth single called "Boys & Girls & Rock N Roll" was released. Later, the song was played live on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert on the album's release date.
