A new Streetlight Manifesto album was first hinted at in April 2024, with lead singer and guitarist Tomas Kalnoky stating the band had begun working on the album in 2019 and the album was "85% complete." In April 2025, Streetlight Manifesto posted a teaser trailer for the new album. Days later they revealed the title of the album and gave a release date, June 24, 2025, through their own label, Pentimento Music Company.[2] When the original release date for the album came, the band instead released three singles, "Enormous", "Everything to Everyone", and "Imagine This", all with the subtitle "(20250624) Mix" exclusively on their YouTube channel. The release date of the album was then pushed to the fall of 2025.[3] By fall, Kalnoky released a social media post apologizing and subsequently delaying the album's release indefinitely.[4] The band continued to tour throughout the delays. On June 19, 2026, Kalnoky made another post to the band's Instagram page, apologizing for the continued delays and announcing the new album release date of September 2026, along with the release of five songs (including the three previously released) from the album to streaming services the following week.[5] On June 22, the band released the EP Halfway to the Place Behind the Stars containing the new songs "Oooo", "All the Pieces", and "How Do You Sleep at Night?" (one track more than originally promised) along with new mixes for the previously released singles, with each track subtitled as the "Halfway Version".
