New Order claimed to have written Blue Monday in response to crowd disappointment that they never played encores. The song was planned to allow them to return to the stage, press play on a synthesizer, and leave the stage again. However, while writing the song it evolved into a project that the band liked, and they released it as a single. Ironically, New Order then became known for playing Blue Monday as an encore.

Langhorne Slim on his new album: "From its inception, the only goal was to create an album based in love. Music for the people who love and cherish other people.

I hope it will offer a small flame to dance by when it feels cold and dark."
