Her cover of Sheena's "Crime and Punishment" amassed over eight million views. In March 2023, another poll was run on social media by Ado's management regarding what songs fans wanted for her to cover on an album.
In September 2023, Universal Music Japan announced Ado would be releasing her first "utattemita album". A 15-second teaser was released on YouTube, along with limited edition bonus goods being announced to be included at select Japanese retailers. Six of ten confirmed songs were originally announced, including "Crime and Punishment", "Unravel" by Toru Kitajima, and "Villain" by Teniwoha. In October, the full track listing was revealed.
