being the song Rudi Protrudi reported he had co-written with The 69 Eyes back in 2010. The 69 Eyes released a double-CD compilation of their radio hit singles called "The Best of Helsinki Vampires" on 1 November 2013. The compilation also included a brand-new single "Lost Without Love". On 29 July 2015, the band announced that they were working on a new album with producer Johnny Lee Michaels in Helsinki. Johnny Lee Michaels previously worked with the band on four consecutive albums (Blessed Be, Paris Kills, Devils, Angels) The new album was set to be released in early 2016.

On 25 May 2019, The 69 Eyes announced they were to release their twelfth studio album on Friday the 13th of September 2019 via Nuclear Blast. Jyrki 69 gave a few details about the new record, saying "I feel like this planet is on some turning point. The end of the western world is near and the question is: What is happening when the west ends..? The title has multiple meanings for us… but be assured it has definitely nothing to do with The Pet Shop Boys or London." "The track deals with the idea of Hollywood and everyone coming there to make their dreams come true, but it's very seldom that they succeed and this is something you can see there everywhere", Jyrki 69 contemplates. "It's a place that makes you desperate and I wanted to get these dark vibes into the song. But on the other hand the track is also a celebration of life – we should be excited to be here and everybody's a legend and they should realise that we should enjoy what we do instead of worry what other people think."
