LP3 was first announced on October 18, 2021, alongside the release of its lead single "Boys".[ 9] The album explores themes such as sexuality, long-distance relationships, mortality, and self-identity.[ 10] [ 6] [ 11] In an interview with Finlay Holden from The Line of Best Fit , band members Jake Luppen and Nathan Stocker noted that the album was something of a "return to form," as interpersonal and creative clashes lead to their previous studio album, Bambi , departing from their vision of the core of the band.[ 12] Holden himself commented that the individual experimentation and creative release of Bambi was crucial for the band's development, from which "a newfound perspective blossomed."
