Blood to Bone is the third album from New Zealand alternative rock singer Gin Wigmore. Recorded during a two-week period in California, the album has a different sound from its predecessors, relying mostly on electronic beats, and introspective lyrics where Wigmore reflected in her life choices since predecessor Gravel & Wine, such as breaking an engagement to a long-time lover and moving from Australia to Los Angeles. Upon its release on 24 June 2015, Blood to Bone received positive reviews and was Wigmore's third straight chart-topper at the Official New Zealand Music Chart. It also debuted at No. 13 at the ARIA Charts, her biggest Australian performance.

On 14 August 2014, Wigmore had confirmed she had begun studio production on her third album. Throughout 15 to 22 August, Wigmore had worked in West Hollywood. But on 25 August 2014, Wigmore posted a picture of the beginning of her thirteen-day studio work at Blakeslee Recording Studios in North Hollywood, California.

Wigmore stated the lyrics on the album are a reflection on what happened to her in the two years since predecessor Gravel & Wine, detailing that she only started production after she gathered "some life experience" and created songs in a process that "was a bit like therapy." She about her introspection that "In a way, I wanted to torture myself, I guess or figure out why I felt like this. And I think if you write about it and try and figure it out and then articulate it, you've kind of come to the point where you've - that's kind of the breakthrough in my mind. The biggest catalyst for her life changes was the aftermath of the Vans Warped Tour in 2013, where upon returning to Australia she broke up with her fiancé, and afterwards moved to Los Angeles to start a relationship with letlive. singer Jason Butler, whom she married one year later. The changes of relationship inspired lead single "New Rush", which Wigmore described as "a song about what I was going through at the time, the idea of being in a relationship that I felt very stifled by, almost feigning happiness I guess. You're waking up to someone and there's nothing wrong as such but you're not alive anymore. And I wanted a new rush, a new thrill."
