Comparing their experience to those of their earlier records, the band described challenges with coordinating schedules, due in part to the physical separation. These limitations did little to impair the recording aspect, but brought unprecedented difficulty to their songwriting process. They composed music over the service Zoom, sharing progress by digitally exchanging vocals and stem files. Social restrictions hampered opportunities for the group to gather in-person, leading them to instead connect virtually for creative sessions, speaking over video call while they each quarantined remotely. The COVID-19 pandemic greatly impacted Big Time Rush's reunion plans. Carlos PenaVega later confirmed plans to release this music in the near future, while Kendall Schmidt described intentions to eventually put out a "body of work". In August, they revealed during an Instagram live that they were writing and recording brand-new music. Initially hoping to publicize their return in 2020, the worldwide COVID-19 pandemic forced them to delay an official announcement, with the resulting travel restrictions and other impairments leading them to agree the timing simply "wasn't right." After posting two brief videos in 2020, the band officially declared their full-on reunion on July 19, 2021, re-activating their social media pages and announcing two concert shows to be held that December. In late 2019, Big Time Rush agreed to reunite.
The band went public with long-standing reunion plans in 2021. All four members would maintain this stance throughout five years of inactivity. Each expressed priority for their own, individual projects, but conveyed openness to reuniting in some capacity. While the individual members seldom clarified the group's status, they adamantly insisted BTR not "broken up" or otherwise permanently disbanded. In subsequent months, some media reports claimed the band was on an indefinite "hiatus". In February 2014, the band embarked an 11-show world tour, but did not announce any activity for the remainder of the year. They also affirmed intentions to continue releasing music, even suggesting the possibility of another album. However, Big Time Rush denied claims they had parted ways, and confirmed they would continue touring. Due to the entwined nature of the brand, with music released by the band often coinciding with the airing and production of the show, many speculated that the band's discontinuation would follow as well.
