Background
On December 9, 2022, Bean posted that the three previously released singles, R U Looking 4 Me Now, Puppy Pound, and Carnage, from the early draft of the album would not be featured on the album. According to Bean, the songs were scrapped because, "An album is supposed to be your best current work, not 4 year old work”.
In a TikTok posted April 6, 2023, they say the album’s first single would release in May [1]; this date would later be pushed back to June. The pushback, according to Bean, would allow a song to be released every month following up to the album.
In an article for Gay Times Bean revealed that after getting out of rehab they completely scrapped what was originally their debut album.[2] “It was actually pretty good, but I was just on a lot of drugs. I wanted to rewrite tracks to avoid any sense of ‘woe is me’.” Bean also said, “There’s a lot of strings, a lot less electronics; I just wanted to make something that felt extremely powerful to listen to”, referring to Traumatic Livelihood.
Other songs that were intended for the early draft were going to be reused for the final product before all being scrapped excluding Stockholm Butterfly, Piggie, Black Dress, and Traumatic Livelihood.
On September 22, 2023 Bean went on to X to announce that the album track-list and cover had been submitted for release. They said they could not yet give a date for the release, but it would be revealed “soon”.[3]
On October 3, 2023, fans noticed that the pre-save link for "Terrified" had the title Traumatic Livelihood in it; this became the speculated title. On October 7, Bean would confirm and reveal the album title, release date, and cover on social media. [4]
On February 5, 2024, the tracklist was revealed through streaming services, likely prematurely as it was reversed just hours later.[5] Then, on February 9, 2024, an album trailer and tracklist reveal was posted to Bean’s YouTube channel.[6]
