Background
After teasing music on her social media from 2018 onward in anticipation for her upcoming third studio album, Foxes revealed on 15 May 2020, new music would be released by sharing new videos on social media of her asking questions, "How did you have to let them go?", "What does your heart desire?", "When was the last time you danced like you meant it?". The teasers came along with a phone number which if you phoned would let people answer the questions.[2][3][4]
