By May 2019, the Band Camino had signed to Elektra Records and released an EP tryhard, in August.[4][5] To promote the release, the group embarked on a headlining tour of North America from September through October, plus two dates in the United Kingdom.[4] On April 9, 2020, bassist Graham Rowell was removed from the group after accusations of sexual misconduct between him and fans surfaced online.[6] Later that year on July 31, 2020, the band released "Crying Over You" with Chelsea Cutler.[7]
