On December 3, 2019, AURORA stated: "my next album will be dressed in an armor of hardness. But I'm also really exploring the soft, delicate part of me, which I want to open up even more on my next album. And I'm discovering more and more things I want to be more involved in, because I've discovered fans all over the world who live in cultures that are unfair towards the people… I want to use my voice for something good, even though it might not matter, but at least I am there to show support."

On August 23, 2020, it was reveled that the album title is ready but she doesn't want to announce it. She also mentioned the possibility of finishing the album in a "secret place" with nature, mountains and a cozy house by November. Two weeks after, the Norwegian singer-songwriter confirmed to NME that her next release won’t be another “step” and that people should expect “something completely different”. “It’s chapter three of my life, it’s a very new world for me,” she said. “I’ve gotten to explore some very new things within myself, which just makes it all the more fun. I’m asking questions to everything that made us the way we are now; in our past, in politics, religion, and in weird ways of thought we have created that make no sense – like racism, not being a feminist or burning women for being witches." When asked about more new music, she replied: "I have quite a lot ready already, but I’ve been wondering a lot about when’s the right time. Sometimes there is so much happening in the world that it feels wrong to release a song if it’s not a direct answer. It can feel a bit rude. I haven’t had it in me yet, but maybe [I’ll release more music] in the Autumn.”
