"The special thing of having records is that they are a concrete diary, a moment in our friendship,” the band told Apple Music. “The fact that it’s been ten years, reflecting on that time passing and the music belonging to other people in those ten years—Coexist means something to us, but the connections that people have to those songs now. Fleeting moments of people saying they got married walking down the aisle to ‘Angels,’ it’s very surreal and special to be part of those people’s lives."

The xx's most recent album, I See You, was released in 2017. This year all three members of the group have shared solo material; Oliver Sim dropped his debut solo album Hideous Bastard while Romy Madley-Croft shared "Strong" and Jamie xx put out "Kill Dem" in September.
