Preceded by four singles including "My Game" and "Only a Dream", the visual EP was produced by Dan Auerbach of The Black Keys.

[2] The music videos for the EP were directed by Neil Krug, Phillip Lopez, Saamuel Richard and Gianennio Salucci.

She then released the double-single "Man on the Moon / Hunnie Pie" (2018) under B3SCI, with the intention for the song to be the lead single off her unreleased third studio album.

"[1] The song "People Are Strangers" was debuted live by Day as part of her opening set for Lana Del Rey in Santa Barbara.

Prior to the release of the first single off the EP, Day debuted her cover of "You Sexy Thing" and premiered an accompanying video for it in September 2019.

In a press release for the song, Day stated "I began writing "People are Strangers" on the bathroom floor after a night of learning an ugly truth about my lover.

I brought the idea to Nashville where Dan Auerbach and I finished the song by taking a dark subject matter and approaching it with simplicity.

Written by Day, Auerbach, and Bobby Wood, the song is an upbeat anthem that serves as an homage to classic '70s film scores and Donna Summer.

[12] The third song off the EP, "Purple Haze", was announced and released on July 9 alongside an accompanying Neil Krug-directed music video.

"[19] Taila Lee of The Daily Californian left a positive review of the record, commenting how "A variety of genres are represented in Day’s vibrant discography, but this organic EP signifies her general shift from down-to-earth pop to head-in-the-clouds indie.

[21] Taylor Thompson of Lady Gunn positively compared the EP to the music of Stevie Nicks and The Doors while calling the video for "Only A Dream" "beautifully intimate and personal".
