The live album was captured during the band's largest headline show to date, held in London in February 2023.

Keyboardist and co-vocalist James Spence expressed that tracks like these resonate with audiences, creating memorable sing-along moments during performances. He mentioned, “this song has been an audience favorite along with a rare opportunity for a sing-along.”
Rolo Tomassi, formed in 2005 and influenced by the character from the neo-noir classic L.A. Confidential, has evolved their sound significantly over the years. Their past album Where Myth Becomes Memory has garnered critical acclaim, leading to a notable 9/10 review from Metal Hammer's Dannii Leivers who praised the band's growth and the seamless blend of elements in their music.
