Decade is the fourth studio album by alternative rock band The Veer Union. It was released on January 29, 2016. It is their first album in almost four years, and the first to feature an all new lineup outside of frontman and band co-founder Crispin Earl.

The band, initially formed in 2004 under the name "Veer", consisted of frontman and lead vocalist Crispin Earl, guitarists Eric Schraeder and James Fiddler, bassist Marc Roots, and drummer Neil Beaton. They released their first album, Time to Break the Spell, in 2006, and upon touring in support of it, attracted major record label support. Upon signing to Universal Motown Records, the band changed their name to a more identifiable "The Veer Union", and released Against the Grain, but were dropped from their label after touring in support of the album. The band pushed forward on another album, Divide the Blackened Sky, but lost Fiddler, Roots, and Beaton shortly after recording. After touring in support of the album, Shraeder would leave as well, leaving Earl as the band's sole member. Without a band, and in financial trouble due to their record label, Rocket Science, collapsing, Earl recorded a last ditch effort, an EP titled Life Support Vol. 1, with only himself and new guitarist Ryan Ramsdell. The band was able to survive, and over the new few years, Earl was able to reassemble the band with new members Dan Sittler, Amal Wijayanayake, Tyler Reimer, and sign to new record label Pavement Entertainment. by March 2014.

Despite the tumultuous events prior to making the album, Earl stated that once work on the album began, it was actually the smoothest it had ever been for the band, something he attributed to the fact that it was the first time he had both a band lineup and a record label lined up prior to starting on the album.

Earl titled the album Decade due it being a decade since the band's first album, Time to Break the Spell, was released. The album's concept was also tied to the title; the album consists of five completely new songs, and five songs written over a decade ago, prior to the band's first album. Earl explained:
