On March 17, 2022, Lapid tweeted "promoting this upcoming ep on tiktok is gonna fry my braincells and kill my soul", revealing that her debut extended play was set to be released soon.

On March 30, 2022, Lapid posted an 8-second compilation of a snippet of the songs on her upcoming extended play, revealing that there were five new songs on the track list.

On April 1, 2022, as an April Fools' joke, Lapid tweeted that her upcoming extended play was pushed back from its original release date due to delays on the final production, and that it would be released on May 15, 2022, hinting at its official release date. On the same day, she posted an announcement revealing that "Comatose" and "How Did I Ever" were set to be included on the track list, on her Discord server. Finally, on April 6, 2022, she officially revealed that her extended play would be released on April 15, 2022, through a pinned comment on her breakout TikTok video, the first snippet of "Producer Man".

On April 5, 2022, Lapid revealed the title of the extended play to be *The Outsider* on TikTok. On April 7, 2022, Lapid posted a behind-the-scenes video of the photo shoot for the extended play. On Instagram, @spoonofjelly, Lapid's artwork designer, posted the official artwork soon after it was announced.

On April 8, 2022, @spoonofjelly posted a series of designs that hinted at the title of the songs on the extended play. Later that day, Lapid posted the track list on her Discord server. However, when the extended play was released, tracks 5 and 6 were swapped.
