On March 3, 2023, Wallen released this third studio album One Thing at a Time. His most successful album to date, it went on to top the US Billboard 200 chart for 19 weeks non-consecutively across 2023 and 2024, eventually becoming the best-performing album of 2023.[1] For the first anniversary of the album, Wallen released his Abbey Road Sessions, which included an acoustic rendition of "Lies Lies Lies", the lead single of his forthcoming album.[2] The second single "Love Somebody" was released on October 18 and debuted at number one on the Billboard Hot 100, his third song to top the chart.[3] "Smile" was surprise-released as the third single on New Year's Eve 2024.[4]

"Just in Case" and "I'm a Little Crazy" were released as promotional singles on March 21, 2025, alongside the announcement of the album release date and the album becoming available for pre-order.[5]
