Background
"Icy Colors Change" was conceived after the widespread coverage of the release of the title track on December 26, 2017, which sampled "Airglow Fires" by Lone, a long time collaborator of Banks.{{cite web|url=https://www.thefader.com/2017/12/26/azealia-banks-icy-colors-change-holiday-song-demo|title=Azealia Banks shares holiday track "Icy Colors Change"|website=The Fader}} "I will re-release this on vinyl fully mixed and mastered next Christmas [as] it's a work in progress as a part of a full holiday project I've been working on." Banks also recorded a pop punk cover of "Sleigh Ride", which her label at the time, eOne, removed from the digital version of the EP.{{cite magazine |url=http://exclaim.ca/music/article/azealia_banks_gifts_us_with_new_christmas_ep |title=Azealia Banks Gifts Us with New Christmas EP |author= |date=December 21, 2018 |magazine=Exclaim! |access-date=December 5, 2019}}
