"Artificial Flame" follows Tusks' two revered albums, Dissolve in 2017 and Avalanche in 2019.

“I went down to Devon alone to write. At that point I'd also realised I was no longer in love with my partner at the time and "Artificial Flame" is all about coming to that realisation and processing it," Underhill explains. "It was really intense. I didn’t really speak to anyone for days and there was this insane storm which came over. Weirdly though, that actually ended up inspiring the chorus hook because I couldn’t light a fire without using a load of firelighters, which then made this massive green flame. I was kinda staring at it then the phrase Artificial Flame popped into my head and seemed to sum up everything I was feeling about the relationship.”
