Rushmere sees the band performing as a trio, following the departure of Winston Marshall in June 2021 after facing backlash for endorsing literature by American right-wing influencer Andy Ngo.

[1] The following three years included the release of a solo self-titled album by member Marcus Mumford (2022) and a collaboration with Pharrell Williams titled "Good People" (2024).

[2] The album is named after a pond located at Wimbledon Common in London, where the band was first formed and music was conceived.

According to a press release, the intent was to take listeners back to where "it all" began while the trio itself felt "restless to get going, relieved and excited" to share new music.

[6] The song was seen as a return to their roots with the inclusion of "folk pop instrumentation" and an "anthemic peak" performed by Marcus Mumford over a "banjo line".
