Background
BROCKHAMPTON initially said that SATURATION III would be their last album as a group, but the day before the album's release they announced their fourth studio album would be titled TEAM EFFORT and would be released in 2018.

On March 20, 2018, the group announced that they postponed the album's release indefinitely. The group then announced that another album, titled PUPPY, would be released in the same summer.

On March 30, the group signed to RCA. The deal was that the group would release six albums across six years. The day after, the group posted a video starring Jaden Smith making the announcement. At the end of the video was an album snippet titled "LET'S GET MARRIED."

On May 12, a series of sexual misconduct allegations came out against Ameer Vann. Eleven days later, Kevin went on Instagram live, to address the Ameer allegations and announce that PUPPY would be pushed back.

On May 27, the band officially announced that Ameer Vann was no longer in the group. The group also apologized and cancelled the remaining dates of their US tour to regroup. Both TEAM EFFORT and PUPPY effectively became scrapped.

The group later appeared on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on June 20, 2018, premiering their new song "Tonya", said to be part of the album The Best Years of Our Lives.

The group unexpectedly announced their new album on Twitter on August 26, 2018. Four days later, the group said that they would record the album entirely from scratch in only ten days at the Abbey Road recording studio in London.

The group announced that the album would be released on September 21.
