Background and promotion

According to 24kGoldn and Dior, they were playing ''Call of Duty'' while the song's producers, Fedi and KBeazy, were working on a beat, and as Fedi played a guitar riff, 24kGoldn idly began singing along with it. 24kGoldn then created a hook for the song while Dior performed a verse. After an early version of the song was written and produced by the four, producer Blake Slatkin was brought in to give the track a "pop polish". 24kGoldn teased a snippet of the song on his Instagram account before the song was officially released on July 24, 2020. To promote "Mood", Columbia Records pitched the song to various pop and "
