The band gained popular attention with the release of their third album, Make Yourself in 1999, which yielded multiple singles, including the band's highest charting song "Drive." The band's first two albums, Fungus Amongus, and, S.C.I.E.N.C.E., were released in 1995 and 1997, respectively. Both their fourth, Morning Vision, from 2001 and fifth albums, A Crow Left of the Murder…, from 2004, were critically acclaimed and commercially successful albums. Incubus finally achieved their first No. 1 album with, Light Grenades, in 2006, which was their sixth studio album overall. This was followed by, Monuments and Melodies in June 2009, which was their first greatest hits album, and If Not Now, When? in 2011. Incubus also issued a digital extended play (EP) titled Trust Fall (Side A) at the beginning of 2015. Exactly two years later, on April 21, 2017, the band issued their eighth studio album simply titled 8. The second extended play, titled Trust Fall (Side B), was released on April 17, 2020. As of October 2022, Incubus has racked up more than 23 million record sales throughout the globe.

These influences can be heard thought the band's music. The band has been commended by a number of observers for their ambition, which has made it difficult to place them in a certain genre.

At the end of the tour season last year, the band stated they had plans for some fresh new music to come in 2023. “There’s no shortage of things to write about,” Boyd said about the world-changing events that have taken place since their last studio album, 8. “So I’m kind of chomping at the bit if I’m being honest. I’m almost at the point where I’m text begging, like, ‘Please! Meet me in the band room!'”
