Background
On 24 August 2023, Sheeran announced the album on social media, in which he said: "Last autumn, I found that my friends and I were going through so many life changes. After the heat of the summer, everything either calmed, settled, fell apart, came to a head or imploded". He also added: "My dad and brother told me about a composer called Elgar, who composed Enigma Variations, where each of the 14 compositions were about a different one of his friends. This is what inspired me to make this album."
The album was his first album released independently on his own label, Gingerbread Man Records. Sheeran said that there would be no singles or videos released to promote the album. Although one single, "American Town", was sent to Italian contemporary hit radio the same day as the album was released.
