On 15 March 2023, Cowan announced that he was leaving the Vaccines “for the foreseeable future” and had already informed the other members of his decision during the previous summer. Having just become a father, Cowan was reluctant to be away on tour all the time. He also hoped to “have another chapter together when the time is right.” In the wake of Cowan’s departure, Timothy Lanham took up lead guitar duties with former Drowners frontman and longtime friend of the band Matt Hitt becoming their live keyboardist and guitarist. Meanwhile, Young stated on behalf of the band that they had just finished their sixth album and were “incredibly excited for all the fun and creativity that lies ahead.”
