In April 2021, Relient K and former members Jon Schneck, Dave Douglas and Ethan Luck, began teasing something on social media. On June 11, Relient K was featured on the song “A Hurt Like That”, released by former member Jake Germany, also known as Phangs. In November 2021, they announced they would be going on tour again, with the other three members officially returning to the band. On February 17, 2022, Relient K kicked off their “Um Yeah Tour” at The Pageant in St. Louis, Missouri , and ended the tour on April 2, 2022, after two shows in Nashville. The group last performed five years ago prior to the Um Yeah tour and Thiessen was uncertain if they would ever perform live again, however, after the tour concluded, Hoopes felt that the band was “re-energized”. Thiessen also said that the band had goals to make another album. In a podcast interview, Jon Schneck said the band was trying to schedule a west coast leg of the tour for the fall of 2022, since no cities or states west of Missouri were included in the initial run. He also confirmed that band had begun working on some new songs. In September 2022, the group re-pressed Air for Free . Two months later, a new version of Forget and Not Slow Down was re-pressed.
