On 23 May 2022, eighteen months after the band first announced they were recording a new album, Suede revealed the title of their ninth studio album as Autofiction , which was released via BMG on 16 September. On the same day, the band unveiled the name of their lead single, “She Still Leads Me On”, and premiered it at a concert at the Cirque Royal in Brussels. The song is inspired by Anderson’s late mother. Speaking about the new album, Anderson said: ” Autofiction is our punk record. No whistles and bells. Just the five of us in a room with all the glitches and fuck-ups revealed; the band themselves exposed in all their primal mess”. In an interview with Billboard , Anderson further explained: “Our intention was also to recover certain aesthetic lines in the sound … [the] post-punk sound is back very strongly in the limelight”.
