The album was teased with the launch of Ashton's official website, and fans noticed the album's listing on Apple Music before it was officially announced. The album deviates musically from 5SOS' signature pop-punk sound, with Ashton opting for a more experimental approach.
Superbloom was officially announced on Ashton's social media accounts on September 23, 2020, with the following statement:
| “ | It is with a great explosion of joy and with my entire soul that I am proudly announcing to you all that I am releasing my first solo record. The album explores my inner philosophies and feelings about the walk of life I have found myself on. I’m ridiculously excited to share this with you, it feels like this record has been over a decade in the making. It brings me the greatest joy of all that I am in a band that allows me to create freely inside and outside of it. I can’t wait for you to hear it. | ” |
On September 24, the track's lead single, "Skinny Skinny," was released as an instant grat after pre-ordering the album.
