Background

After the release their 2023 EP Welcome to My House, Yonaka fell on hard times and had even considered breaking up, but the group, now a trio, remerged in 2025 with the release of a new single, "Problems", part of their upcoming LP, along with a music video.

In December of that year, the group released "Hit Me When I'm Sore", accompanied by a visualizer, created by Kane Hempson. The album was released on March 13, 2026.

Composition and themes

The album was recorded at ICP Studio in Brussels. Guitarist, Alex Croby led the production of the album with input from Dimirtri Tikovoi. The lead single off the album "Problems" is a song about "when love starts to turn a little bit ugly" and was chosen to be the lead single for this reason. Jarvis states "Problems had to open up the album because this was the first song, when we wrote it, where we went 'Oh, this is what the album is going to be!'...". The song "Cruel" was inspired by Industrial rock and feature sexually charged lyrics. "Cruel" features a Bad Omens esq beat to 90s inspired bridge. "Hit Me When I'm Sore" is about front woman, Theresa Jarvis, ruminating about an ex partner, and how she was hurt by the relationship. The song "At The Beach" an Indie rock song about hope.

Jarvis states that she was inspired by Twenty One Pilots, Jeff Buckley and Amy Winehouse, when creating the album.

The song "Cruel" was considered for entry in the Eurovision Song Contest according to bassist Alex Crosby. He states "... we flew out of London to audition for Eurovision with it." The group ultimately decided not to enter the song, with Theresa Jarvis stating "Loads of people were putting our names in... But that version had a different chorus, so I'm glad we didn't get in."

Reception
