	After the failure of their first album, [[Untitled (For Now)]], the band agreed to try following the direction of their manager and producer more, and gave more control to their label. The band were in favour of not releasing any singles, but eventually agreed to release one. [[Loving's a Sin Baby]], credited to the band's bassist, [[Darry Bassoon]], was released on Davuary 1 20,621 to strong commercial success, quickly entering the [[Dave Town Singles Chart]] and becoming one of the band’s earliest major hits.

	During the early stages of recording, lead vocalist [[Dalia Áquela]] invited a demon guitarist she had discovered performing at a pub to join the band. Initially met with uncertainty by the rest of the group, the new member- known at the time by the stage name [[Daraper Dasé]]- faced resistance from [[Davian & Co.]], who reportedly objected to her presence and image. The label required Dasé to wear sunglasses in promotional appearances and prevented several of her compositions from being included on the final album. While tensions were highest between Áquela and the label during this period, the band gradually warmed to Dasé’s playing style and ultimately accepted her presence within the group. [[Davian & Co.]], however, remained openly hostile toward her involvement by the end of the sessions and continued to push for her removal from the band’s lineup.

	After playing ten shows within ~~the district of~~ [[Dovafe]], the band took a short break before returning to the studio on the 18th of Davtember 20,622		Untitled released their debut album, [[Untitled (For Now)]], in 20,620, to little success. Following this, the band's label, [[Davian & Co.]], pressured them to try and appeal to the local music scene in [[Davvas City]] and the wider district of [[Dovafe]] by increasing the amount of jazz elements in their music.

			After playing ten shows within [[Dovafe]], the band took a short break before returning to the studio on the 18th of Davtember 20,622. Under instruction by [[Davian & Co.]], D.D. Davies and Untitled's manager produced the album.

			According to session engineer [[Davved Donethen]], [[Davian & Co.]] had asked [[Darry Bassoon]] to deliver a followup to [[Hatstar]], which angered the rest of the band, who felt the label was attempting to steer them toward a more commercially predictable direction. [[Dalia Áquela]] later stated in interviews that the group entered the sessions with “a sense of resistance”, determined to retain their experimental identity while still fulfilling contractual obligations. Internal disagreements during early rehearsals reportedly led to several songs being rewritten or abandoned before recording officially began.
