The album was recorded between late 2024 and early 2025 at the Los Angeles home studio by producer Justin Raisen, along with musicians in the “spirit of the Wrecking Crew session players in the ’60s and ’70s”, per a press release.
In the single, '595', which you can check out below, has been described in a press release as being “inspired by a vintage t-shirt advertising a phone sex line” and features the lyrics: “I’ll be your 1-900-G spot, baby / 595 I’m on the line / You won’t last".
Speaking about her influences, Violet Grohl said that she was inspired by the late alternative music of the 1980s and 90s, saying: “There’s something so powerful about that period of music, from the messaging to the visuals, it’s authentic and raw. I’ve listened to that stuff since I was a kid".

Back in February, Dave Grohl revealed that he had "no idea" that his daughter had signed up with the record label until she told him at dinner one night.
“This is amazing. So Violent, my daughter – she’s 19, about to turn 20 – she made this album with a producer named Justin Raisen, and she did it on her own,” Dave Grohl said in a recent interview. “She met the producer, and they would go to the studio every day and she would send me songs when she was finished. But I had absolutely nothing to do with this record at all".
