[1] Quatro and Tunstall first met in 2010 following an Elvis Presley tribute concert at Hyde Park in London.
[2] Tunstall acknowledged that she had long been a fan of Quatro, claiming she was the first woman in "rock and roll", and that her second studio album Drastic Fantastic (2007) was "definitely a nod to her".
[3] Quatro said that despite Tunstall's claimed of excessive talking between the pair, it was unknown to them that "actually we were, in our heads, creating a song".
Further commitments by both artists to touring, promotional activities and the outbreak of the Covid-19 worldwide saw the plans delayed further.
[4] The album’s themes of love, loss, fear and triumph, are said to be meaningful to both Quatro and Tunstall, and qualities and attributes they have long had to demonstrate and face in their career, citing that they are "essential to their experiences as groundbreaking women in rock".
Tunstall also expressed that both Quatro and she shared "our own stories of experiencing this, and how we've both learned to only let those people in who want to see good things happen for you".
[1] The collaboration between Quatro and Tunstall on Face to Face was described by Rock Today as a "match made in heaven", further advocating that whilst "Suzi and KT are two very distinctive artists, each with their own style, they have come together to create an album which is as heartfelt as it is both uplifting and empowering".
