Background

Beck stated that he "had a few things" after concluding the tour for Colors, and "wanted to seize the moment" by working on his own project with Williams after Williams had asked Beck to work on a N.E.R.D album, also revealing that their collaboration was initially "going to be a single or an EP, but I think we were both surprised when there was a body of work here".[4]

On October 10, 2019, Beck posted the album cover on Instagram, which features the title in katakana (ハイパースペース, Haipāsupēsu).[5]
