Background

Along with the album's announcement in March 2022, the duo released a statement behind the creation of the album: "Over the past few years we’ve been able to reflect on who we are, what it means to do what we do, and in the end, who we are doing this for. We became focused and inspired by the impact our families and friends have imprinted on us and how we want to continue to echo that out as we move through this life. We found comfort in the fact that those who we love stay with us, that they become intrinsically part of us, in a way."[3][4]

Promotion

Multimedia

The duo teased new music in January 2022 through social media.[2] In February 2022, the duo launched a campaign titled "Welcome to The Last Goodbye." It consisted of unreleased audio snippets and video footage of Mills and Knight's childhood years that were generated through fans typing a given password into the duo's microsite.[5][6]
