Background

[edit]

Following the release of her second album, All I Need, Foxes took a four-year hiatus from music. In February 2018, she teased new music stating "Thank you for your patience with this next record... I will be releasing new music this year and I can't wait to share it with you".[4]

Release and promotion

[edit]

The EP's lead single, "Love Not Loving You", was released on 20 May 2020.[5] The song was her first release in four years and marked Foxes' first release with her new record label, PIAS, after departing from RCA and Sign of the Times.[6] The second single, "Woman", was released on 29 July 2020.[7] This was followed by "Friends in the Corner" on 2 September 2020 and "Hollywood" on 4 December 2020.[8][9]

"Kathleen" was released as the fifth single on 17 March 2021, along with a YouTube premiere for its music video.[3] The announcement of the EP's release coincided with the premiere, and the EP was made available for pre-order on 19 March 2021.[1]
