The tracklist on the back still lists the song Yeah Yeah Yeah, which has been renamed to I'm Still Alive, which is already to be seen on all digital platforms and the tracklists of the physical releases on the official website. The first issue of the CD release of the album has a few mistakes in the tracklist and in the credits of the booklet. The vinyl editions were postponed to 17 December for Germany, Austria and Switzerland and to 21 January for the rest of the world. On 14 October 2021, the release date was postponed to 12 November 2021. The press release shows a release date of 22 October, which indicates that the album release has been pushed back.
Two days later, the German magazine Sonic Seducer, leaked the release date of the album. Īlbum title, artwork and pre-order date were revealed on 12 September 2021, via Emigrate's official social media channels. The original idea was to release a vinyl box of the first three Emigrate albums with an additional disc with songs that weren't previously released. But Richard decided to not mix those songs, because he wants to end this phase of Emigrate with a last album, before he turns to these electronic songs. Together with Andrea Marino, Richard worked on electronic remixes of the songs. Going back to the past finally showed me the future." It is named after the painting by Salvador Dalí. Richard says: "The past has probably saved my life a little bit, through that I then saw the future again." Taking the trip down memory lane was also the spark for the album title: "That's why the album is called The Persistence of Memory - the only thing that held me during that time were my memories. When he started to work on all those songs, he re-arranged and wrote new lyrics, he felt that he was still having fun in making music.
While he didn't like the present he was living in, he forced himself to go to the studio and listen to old demos, as a way to travel to the past. He didn't know what to do and thought about quitting music in general, and turn to other things. After Richard came home from the Europe Stadium Tour 2019, he fell into a deep hole.
