Secret Life is the first collaborative release from Fred Again and Brian Eno, however they have been colleagues since 2014, when Fred Again received writing credits on Eno's Someday World and High Life.
Eno then became Fred Again's mentor, saying that “when I first worked with Fred I could see he was brilliant”. Eno has stated that Fred Again also acted as his mentor with respect to learning contemporary music.
Secret Life was announced on 2 May 2023 by Four Tet, an English producer with whom Fred Again had previously worked with and been touring earlier in the year, with Four Tet calling it “the most beautiful album of 2023”.
