So it's still gonna be like everything that people love about Kid Cudi music. I'm trying my hardest to still introduce new sounds and push the envelope, sonically. How can we give it a little twist? How can we do something different? That's how I came up with the idea for the show, Entergalactic. Cudi went on to say, "I had this idea for the show, and then it was like, 'how can we incorporate the music? How can we have the music be a part of the show?' I initially wanted to make a visual album, but I was like, that's been done before. I'm not in a relationship right now, so it's purely written from my imagination and writing as this character." This new approach brought excitement back to the music-making process for Cudi, who had considered taking five years off from music. Cudi added: "A lot of the songs are about love and relationships. "A lot of the songs aren't really from the Scott perspective they're from the perspective of the character," he explained. Cudi told Complex 's Karizza Sanchez he "needed to do something different" this time around with his music, which led to the decision to create a project that would narrate the first season of his Netflix show. In Complex 's September 2019 cover story, Cudi shared more details on what to expect from the album. In July 2019, Kid Cudi announced a full-length project with the title reminiscent of the 2009 album cut, Entergalactic, which he revealed would soundtrack an upcoming Netflix " adult-focused animated music series" co-created by himself and Black-ish creator Kenya Barris. In late 2009, Cudi began performing a song titled "Deep Sleep (Love Connection Part II)", which serves as a sequel to the original song, however it was never officially released. The album included a song titled "Enter Galactic (Love Connection Part I)", a "trippy disco anthem" that was inspired by when he and a female friend ate psilocybin mushrooms and listened to music by The Postal Service together.
In 2009, Cudi released his debut studio album Man on the Moon: The End of Day, to critical acclaim. Entergalactic was preceded by two singles in support of the album, "Do What I Want" and "Willing to Trust". Additionally the album features guest appearances from Ty Dolla Sign, 2 Chainz, Steve Aoki and Don Toliver. The album includes production from high-profile record producers such as Dot da Genius, Plain Pat, Gazzo, Hot Sugar, Jean-Baptiste, Skrillex, Steve Aoki, WondaGurl and Take a Daytrip, among others. The dual projects would later be delayed into 2022 in favor of Cudi focusing on the release of Man on the Moon III: The Chosen (2020).

The album was initially announced in a 2019 press release, revealing an animated music series created by Cudi, alongside American film producer Kenya Barris, for Netflix, with the album and the series to be released the same day. The album was released alongside its visual component, an adult animated special of the same name, exclusively on Netflix. The album was issued on September 30, 2022, by Republic Records and Cudi's Wicked Awesome imprint. Entergalactic is the eighth studio album by American musician Kid Cudi.
