Twenty One Pilots released their fourth studio album, ''Blurryface'', on May 17, 2015. The album topped the [[Billboard 200|''Billboard'' 200]] and produced two top five singles, "[[Stressed Out]]" and "[[Ride (Twenty One Pilots song)|Ride]]", peaking at number two and number five, respectively, on the ''Billboard'' Hot 100. The songs, along with the single "[[Heathens (song)|Heathens]]" from the [[Suicide Squad (soundtrack)|''Suicide Squad'' soundtrack]], launched the band into mainstream success in 2016. The duo embarked on two concert tours in support of the album from 2015 to 2017. In an interview with ''[[Alternative Press (magazine)|Alternative Press]]'', the band stated that they would be "going dark" in order to focus on new music, and added that they would focus on the lyrical content and bring back the "authenticity, lyrics, delivery, and fearlessness of songwriting" of the band's [[Twenty One Pilots (album)|eponymous album]].<ref name="alt-press-issue-342">{{Cite web|last=Hall|first=Mackenzie|url=http://www.altpress.com/news/entry/twenty_one_pilots_issue_342|title=Twenty One Pilots talk new music, fans, more in our latest issue|date=November 21, 2016|work=Alternative Press|access-date=January 5, 2019}}</ref> Following the five final dates of the band's tour, "Tour De Columbus", the duo entered a year-long break from public appearances beginning on July 6, 2017, in order to rest and work on their next project.<ref>{{cite web|last=Dickman|first=Maggie|url=https://www.altpress.com/news/entry/twenty_one_pilots_tease_come_and_find_me|title=Update: Twenty One Pilots tease "come and find me," and fans are freaking out|date=July 7, 2017|work=Alternative Press|access-date=January 5, 2019}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|last=Jeff|first=Benjamin|url=https://www.fuse.tv/2017/07/twenty-one-pilots-youll-have-to-come-find-me-tease-lyrics|title=Twenty One Pilots Are Teasing Something & Fans Are Going Nuts|date=July 7, 2017|work=Fuse|access-date=January 5, 2019}}</ref><ref name="alt-press-issue-342"/>[[File:Mutemath 11 (6898925253).jpg|thumb|left|[[Paul Meany]], singer and keyboardist of the alternative rock band [[Mutemath]], co-wrote and co-produced much of the project alongside frontman [[Tyler Joseph]].]]

No one other than Joseph, Dun, and Meany were involved in the songwriting process for the album in order to eliminate any effect a family member, friend or colleague could have on the final form of the record's content through their comments. In an interview with ''[[Kerrang!]]'', Joseph explained that he only showed these people the album when it was finished so that their reaction would be "as close to their true reaction as possible."<ref>{{cite journal|first=Emily|last=Carter|url=https://www.pressreader.com/uk/kerrang-uk/20181010/282020443249601|title=Twenty One Pilots - Part two of our guided tour of Trench with Tyler and Josh|date=October 10, 2018|journal=Kerrang!|access-date=July 31, 2019}}</ref> In a later interview with ''[[The New York Times]]'', he recounted how the project "almost destroyed" him, leading him to consider ending all work on it, as his emotional state "whiplashed" between self-deprecation and self-confidence.<ref name="nyt">{{Cite news|last=Ganz|first=Caryn|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2018/10/15/arts/music/twenty-one-pilots-trench.html|title=Twenty One Pilots Want to Stay Strange|date=October 15, 2018|work=The New York Times|access-date=October 18, 2018}}</ref>
