## Background

On January 25, 2023, the album was announced with the surprise release of the record's lead single. As part of the series and the then upcoming project on the way, Taylor Jenkins Reid expressed her feeling about making her creation real.

“*We finally have Aurora. A stunning, nostalgic, timeless album that captures the drama, pathos, and yearning of the band’s zenith and nadir all in one. A snapshot of time, intoxicating and dangerous. That delicious moment that you know can’t last… Daisy Jones and The Six are real. And they are better than my wildest dreams.*”
―Reid via Rolling Stone
