In a November 2010 interview reported at NME.com, drummer Joey Kramer confirmed that the band had every intention to finish and release their long-delayed album in 2011, stating, “Really, at this point in time, the only thing that’s going to stop us is if someone out-and-out dies. Other than that, we’ve already been through what we’ve been through and stood the test of time. What else is there?” On January 18, 2011, Tyler declared that “Joe (Perry) has got some licks and I’ve got a bunch of songs that I’ve written for solo and/or Aerosmith” and the band would start prepping the album that week. On March 20, 2011, Aerosmith announced a new greatest hits album, Tough Love: Best of the Ballads , which was released on May 10, 2011. On May 14, 2011, the band announced a tour of Latin America in the fall of 2011. In June, Joe Perry announced that the band is going to meet at the recording studio to produce the next album of the band in July. On August 30, 2011, it was announced that the new album will be released around May 2012. The album will be produced by Jack Douglas , who produced four albums for the band in the 1970s.

As part of the tour, the band performed in Paraguay , Panama, and Ecuador for the first time in their careers.
