Green expressed interest to work with artists such as former collaborators Emeli Sandé and Lily Allen, as well as Ed Sheeran and Lana Del Rey on the album, however, no collaborations featuring any of the listed names are featured. Green announced that production on the album would come from the likes of Mike Skinner, Sid Wilson of Slipknot,iSHi, Pharrell Williams and Skrillex.

He has also delayed his planned UK tour twice, firstly from November 2013 to May 2014, and then May 2014 to December 2014, to coincide with the release of the album.
