## Background

On July 24th, 2022 Slayyyter tweeted, "album almost done" with a kiss emoji later the same week she then tweeted, "one sec im finishing it all!!" Along with a clock and hand hearts emojis after replying to a fan.

On an interview with Out, on November 1st 2022, Slayyyter described her upcoming project as "a really crazy album about love and fame and Hollywood and sex and drugs, because I've been living in LA for three years absolutely going off my rockers."

In early 2023 multiple tracks from the album's sessions leaked online. The first major leaked happened in January, where a few demos leaked. In June, final versions of some of the songs leaked online.

In a Twitter Q&A, shortly after the album's announcement, Slayyyter described her inspiration behind the sound of the album:

> *its a dramatized version of my life since i moved to la a few years ago. I got my first apartment, started collecting 80s/90s deco style furniture. got into a serious relationship, got out of one. started partying hard& seeing real celebrities in the same room as me. its all pretty strange. i was just a hair salon receptionist a few years ago, sweeping hair for like minimum wage making music in a closet at my moms house. now i tour the world and have fans and live in hollywood... i feel like a small fry here. its a weird spot to be in*

### Title

One of the speculated titles was "Erotic Electronic", named by the song of the same name. "Starfucker" was rumoured to be the title after an image of a photoshop file leaked with that filename. The title was featured on the Boiler Room performance on July 16, 2023, as it was on one of the backdrops. The title and artwork was officially revealed on July 21st.

On October 26th, 2023, Slayyyter confirmed that the album will have a deluxe version and that there will be three bonus tracks at a show in New York City. The confirmed bonus tracks are "Makeup," "James Dean", and "Starfucker." The deluxe version was released on December 1, 2023.

## Artwork

The standard artwork was revealed on July 20th, along with the tracklist and title of the album, on Slayyyter's social media accounts. An alternate cover is used on the "Glass" vinyl variant. The alternate cover was supposed to be the standard cover used on the digital release, but was too explicit. The Walmart exclusive vinyl release features a different alternate cover.

The cover was shot by Evan Sheehan, styling, makeup and hair were done by Malcom Smith, Ashley Zimel and Robert J Stell respectively.
