More. Again. Forever. is the sixth studio album by British rock band Courteeners. Following their fifth studio album Mapping the Rendezvous (2016), the band released a reimagined version of their debut studio album St. Jude (2008) and scrapped an album's worth of new material. After a co-writing session with Rich Turvey and a tour of the United Kingdom, frontman Liam Fray wrote the majority of what would appear on their next album in early 2019. Recording for it concluded by April 2019; More. Again. Forever. is a pop and psychedelic album that takes influenced from the work of LCD Soundsystem, as well as a period of addiction and self-improvement that Fray went through.
More. Again. Forever. received generally favourable from critics, with many praising the songwriting. The album reached number two in the UK and number one in Scotland, while "Hanging Off Your Cloud" reached the top 30 of the UK Independent Singles Chart. "Heavy Jacket" was released as its lead single in September 2019, followed by "Better Man" in December 2019, which coincided with two one-off shows in London and Manchester. "Hanging Off Your Cloud" was released as the album's third single in January 2020; shortly afterwards, Courteeners went on a short UK tour. They performed at the Emirates Old Trafford in Manchester to a crowd of 50,000 in September 2021, which led into a UK tour at the end of the year.
