Cold War Kids frontman Nathan Willet announced in April 2017 that he’d collaborated with Florence on the new record. Florence covered the track Hospital Beds from Cold War Kids’ 2006 debut album Robbers And Cowards as the b-side for her debut single, Kiss With A Fist, in 2008. Welch and Willet have performed the song live at Coachella in 2010.
