On April 18, 2012, lead singer Hayley Williams announced on the band's site that the producer for their new album would be Justin-Meldal Johnsen, longtime bassist for Beck and Nine Inch Nails, who has previously produced records for M83 and Neon Trees. In an interview with Electronic Musician, Meldal-Johnsen stated he wants "the album to sound very visceral and a little bit less locked down and computerized, more 1981 than 2012, with a nod to 2016."

On July 2, 2012, it was announced on the band's Twitter that former Nine Inch Nail and current Angels and Airwaves drummer Ilan Rubin will be recording drums for the album.

Hayley Williams and Taylor York confirmed, through Twitter, that they had finished recording the album on November 1, 2012.

When asked about why the album is self-titled, Williams explained "The self-titled aspect of the whole thing is definitely a statement. I feel like it's not only reintroducing the band to the world, but even to ourselves ... By the end of it, it felt like we're a new band."
