[5][6] The origin of title-track "Witness to Your Love" dates back to 2008, when singer Shirley Manson was approached by friend Jeff Castelaz, founder of the Pablove Foundation, to include a Garbage track on the fifth volume of the Give Listen Help charity compilation benefitting the Children's Hospital Los Angeles helping to fight cancer in children.

Whilst "Cities in Dust" was a newly recorded track, "Blue Betty" and "Adam and Eve" are two outtakes from the band's seventh studio album No Gods No Masters' sessions.

It stars actors Maungo Pelekekae, Alasdair Scott and Sally Pritchett as three vampires, and Ferguson's wife, Vari, as a shop assistant.

[21] Ferguson wanted to "tell a story of eternal youth, dynamism and a feeling of invincibility", so he decided to turn the protagonists into "reckless bloodsuckers": the three vampires steal blood units from a hospital, go to a skatepark (The Arches DIY), shoplift Garbage CDs in a music store (Missing Records), steal a car, drink blood from a man and go dance in a nightclub before going back to sleep in coffins built from refrigerators.

The Witness to Your Love EP was released on World Record Store Day 2023, April 22, ahead of Garbage's co-headline summer tour with Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds.

The EP was released on April 28 on digital platforms, in conjunction with a music video for "Cities In Dust" made by Javi Mi Amor.

[16][23] Press releases and reviews of the EP largely focused on the "Cities in Dust" cover, also due to Siouxsie going back on tour in summer.
