Background

After years of touring, Wonderland said that the COVID-19 pandemic halting events around the world in 2020 left her feeling "entirely alone" and as if she "had hit [her] rock bottom". She eventually returned to recording music as a "way to move forward", taking inspiration from her previous albums to "work out where she's going" and to no longer "be the victim" in the stories she tells. Wonderland called Loner a "rebirth" as well as her "most positive album"[1] and hoped that the album would "empower" listeners to "feel less alone".[4]

Wonderland initially announced a new album at the end of 2021.[3]

Themes

EDM.com called the use of blindfolds on the cover and the singles' music videos "a motif for vulnerability and detachment".[5]
