following owl city's 2015 album, "mobile orchestra", adam young announced that he would focus on creating musical scores rather than work on new content for owl city. starting in february 2016, young released a complete album of instrumental "scores" each month until december, totalling 11 such releases. in late november, young announced a new owl city christmas song, "humbug", which was the first owl city song to be released independently since 2008. following "humbug", young hinted that he was working on a new album, which was revealed, on october 30, 2017, to be named "cinematic". unlike the owl city records released before, young explained that this album would focus more on his personal life rather than ideas from his imagination, which usually inspired him. the artwork and release date was also revealed, and a few days later, the track listing as well. the album had a total of 18 songs, including three alternate versions of already recorded ones.
