Background & Promotion[edit]
On July 15, 2022, just ten days after the release of The Promise You Left Behind, the band announced they were working on new material. Maloy shared a lyric which would later become the catchphrase of the lead single, "pack your bags 'cause we're heading for a blackout".
On July 30, 2022, the band released the lead single for the album, "Blackout". It became the band's most successful song of the current era. The second single, "Parasite (ft. Miami)" became a radio hit but did not do as well. The band later released "Swan Song / Steez", as a double single release.
Critical Reception[edit]
I TOTALLY UNDERSTAND received mostly positive reviews, with sources praising the musicianship and lyrical content, while others said it was generic and lost momentum from the previous records. It received an average score of 7.6/10.
