Background and recording
Introvert EP
The Introvert EP was released on July 1, 2022.[3] The EP was announced on May 6, 2022 along with the lead single "Above It All".[4] The EP also includes a cover of The Weeknd's "Blinding Lights" and promotional single "Better Late Than Never".[5][6] The EP was written during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic.[7] Speaking about Introvert, Adam Gontier stated, "The title was fitting with the way the songs were written. We wrote and recorded individually. It's a weird situation to make a record and not to be in the same room as your band. I felt like an introvert when I was working on these songs."[8]

The Extrovert EP was released on November 18, 2022. The lead single "Wolf" was released on October 21, 2022.[9] "Devastate" was released as the second single from the EP on February 7, 2023.[10] A music video for the song premiered on March 16, 2023.[11]
