In keeping with Kim Deal meticulous approach to all her projects, the album was honed over several years.

The oldest songs, “Are You Mine?” and “Wish I Was,” were written and recorded in 2011, shortly after she left the Pixies and moved to Los Angeles (early versions of these songs were included on the vinyl series); Nobody Loves You More was last recorded in November 2022 with legendary engineer and close friend the late Steve Albini at his Electrical Audio studio in Chicago. Along the way, she brought in a variety of collaborators, from Breeders past and present (Mando Lopez, her twin sister Kelley Deal, Jim Macpherson, Britt Walford) to Raymond McGinley (Teenage Fanclub), Jack Lawrence (Raconteurs), and Fay Milton and Ayse Hassan (Savages). Nobody Loves You More was mixed by Marta Salogni and mastered by Heba Kadry.

Every song has a story, from a winter vacation with his parents in Florida (“Summerland”) to a wedding band’s cover of “Margaritaville” (“Coast”) to his mother’s dementia (“Are You Mine?”). Overall, the album is a celebration of Deal’s unmatched artistic power, nodding not only to his career highlights with cult alternative bands (Pixies, The Amps, The Breeders), but also to his unwavering cultural clout that has influenced musicians like Kurt Cobain and Olivia Rodrigo across generations.
