Eye of the Storm (One Ok Rock album)

Vocalist Takahiro Moriuchi stated that the band "challenged and pushed ourselves to try new things while still maintaining the essence of what our band is" on the album. Moriuchi expressed a desire to create a positive album that took influence from a variety of sources, Queen being the most dominant one, but also musicals and Disney. He stated "Rock’n’roll is a lifestyle for me, not hard music, but universal - that's why this album is super different. I was just making music, not only rock music".{{cite web|url=https://www.upsetmagazine.com/features/one-ok-rock-are-shaking-things-up|title=One OK Rock are shaking things up|work=Upset Magazine|last=Loftin|first=Steven|date=February 19, 2019|access-date=February 19, 2019}}

The second single "Stand Out Fit In" is about not giving in to peer pressure.{{cite web|url=https://www.rocksound.tv/news/read/one-ok-rock-new-album-eye-of-the-storm-stand-out-fit-in|title=ONE OK ROCK Have Announced The Details Of Their New Album, Released First Single – News|work=Rock Sound|last=Jamieson|first=Brii|date=November 23, 2018|access-date=November 24, 2018|archive-date=November 24, 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181124220016/https://www.rocksound.tv/news/read/one-ok-rock-new-album-eye-of-the-storm-stand-out-fit-in|url-status=dead}} The video for "Stand Out, Fit In", directed by Peter Huang, was praised for its portrayal of how peer pressure affects Asian American youth. He was asked to make a video about "the Asian American experience" by the Japanese band.{{cite web|url=https://nextshark.com/one-ok-rocks-asian-america/|title=ONE OK ROCK's New Music Video Shows What Growing Up Asian in the U.S. is Like|work=Nextshark|last=Ke|first=Brian|date=November 27, 2018|access-date=February 12, 2019}} Moriuchi wanted to be "a positive force for Asian-Americans" after moving to the United States in 2015.

American pop singer Kiiara was brought on as a guest feature for the album, having met Moriuchi at the tribute concert for Linkin Park's late vocalist Chester Bennington. Moriuchi invited her to work with the band during a chat they had after the concert, involving Bennington's friendship with Kiiara and moving forward after his death. Linkin Park co-vocalist Mike Shinoda was also involved with production on "Eye Of The Storm", the band having met Shinoda in studio while working on their previous album Ambitions.

Along with the release of the regular Japanese and international versions, initial Japanese pressings will feature a DVD with acoustic performances.
