Emergence
Musgraves wrote and recorded most of the songs from the album in 2017. Part of the album was recorded in a horse stable studio owned by musician Sheryl Crow . About the writing process, she said that she wrote a lot more love songs this time than for the previous albums.
Musgrave's sister Kelly Christine Sutton recorded the cover for Golden Hour in a photo shoot that lasted two days and took place around her hometown of Golden, Texas . Sutton worked together on all of the covers of their previous three albums. On the cover, Sutton said that Musgraves really wanted to use the paper fan, but Sutton couldn't imagine what it would end up with. The picture was taken in a large field without trees with the sky in the background. Sutton said that shortly after the recording, the two knew this was going to be the cover.

On February 23, 2018, Butterflies and Space Cowboy were released as the first release from the album, a double single. This was sold to fans in a limited edition in the form of a vinyl.
