Background

Years & Years released their second album Palo Santo on 6 July 2018, supported by four singles. The album was commercially and critically successful, receiving critical acclaim from music critics and debuting in the top 3 on the UK Albums Chart. They also embarked on the Palo Santo Tour (2018–19) in support of the album.

On 18 March 2021, the band announced a third Years & Years album to be released in 2021. It was simultaneously announced that Goldsworthy and Türkmen had stepped down as active members, and that the act would continue as Alexander's solo project.[3][4]

On 28 September 2021, the album's cover art, title, and release date were revealed on his social media accounts.[5] Speaking about Night Call, Alexander said in a statement: "I was writing from a fantastical space, stuck in the same four walls. I wanted to have as much pleasure as possible in the music."[6]
