It is the first song released by the band to not feature Daniel Platzman since his hiatus from the Mercury World Tour in March 2023. The song was first promoted on August 29, 2023 when the band posted the cover art of the song and "tomorrow" as a caption on social media.[1] A countdown clock was also added the their official website set for 10 am EST. In a press release, Reynolds described the background of the song:[2]

Bethesda created iconic games we’ve been playing for most of our lives, and we’re honored to have collaborated on this song for Starfield. The song, like the game, asks some of the most difficult questions we face as humans trying to find our place in the universe.”

— Dan Reynolds
