Over the course of 18 months, from 2016 to 2018, a project was carried out to form the musical group Loona under the direction of Jaden Jeong at the agency Blockberry Creative. After gathering the twelve members of the group and introducing them to the public, Loona debuted with the mini-album [+ +] (2018). In 2019, a reissue titled [X X] was released, which became Jeong's last work with the group after having creative differences with the agency.

Loona continued its activities normally until November 2022 when Blockberry Creative expelled one of its members, Chuu, and caused nine of the eleven remaining members to request the suspension of their exclusive contracts with the agency.{{Cite web|title=[단독]이달의 소녀 비비·현진 제외 9명 계약 해지 소송 중|trans-title=[Exclusive] 9 contract cancellation proceedings excluding Loona Vivi and Hyunjin|url=https://entertain.naver.com/read?oid=437&aid=0000323087|via=Naver|publisher=JTBC|language=ko|last=Park|first=Sang-hoo|date=November 28, 2022|access-date=March 27, 2024|archive-date=November 28, 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221128085004/https://entertain.naver.com/read?oid=437&aid=0000323087|url-status=live}} HeeJin, Kim Lip, JinSoul, Choerry, and HaSeul were among these members. In January 2023, the first four received a preliminary injunction to suspend their contracts. In March of that same year, they signed exclusive contracts with Modhaus, an agency founded by Jaden Jeong.{{Cite web|last=Cheon|first=Min-ah|title=[단독]이달의 소녀 희진·김립·진솔·최리 '계약 해지' 승소 출처|url=https://www.sedaily.com/NewsView/29KGJKGNAN|publisher=Seoul Economic Daily|language=ko|date=January 13, 2023|access-date=March 27, 2024}}{{Cite web|last=Kim|first=Na-yul|date=March 17, 2023|title='前 이달의 소녀' 최리X진솔X희진X김립, 모드하우스와 전속계약[공식]|url=https://entertain.naver.com/read?oid=112&aid=0003620207|access-date=March 27, 2024|publisher=Herald Pop|archive-date=March 17, 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230317080800/https://entertain.naver.com/read?oid=112&aid=0003620207|via=Naver|language=ko}} In this context the ARTMS project was created and would include the four singers, but it is emphasized that "ARTMS" it is not the name of a new group. HaSeul's contract was suspended on June 16; she signed with Modhaus and joined ARTMS on June 21.{{Cite web|last=Heo|first=Ji-young|title=이달소 출신 하슬, 멤버 품으로…희진·김립·진솔·최리 소속사와 전속계약 출처|url=https://www.sedaily.com/NewsView/29QXVTVG0T|publisher=Seoul Economic Daily|language=ko|date=June 21, 2023|access-date=March 27, 2024}}{{Cite web|last=Yeo|first=Gladys|title=LOONA’s Haseul signs with Modhaus, joins ARTMS project|url=https://www.nme.com/news/music/loona-haseul-signs-modhaus-contract-joins-artms-project-3458662|publisher=NME|language=ko|date=June 21, 2023|access-date=March 27, 2024}}

The first musical release within the ARTMS project was the mini-album Version Up by Odd Eye Circle, a sub-unit of Loona (and now of ARTMS) consisting of Kim Lip, JinSoul and Choerry, in July 2023.{{Cite web|last=Assis|first=Tássia|title=Odd Eye Circle On 'Version Up,' LOONA & A New Beginning|url=https://www.nylon.com/entertainment/odd-eye-circle-version-up-album-loona-artms|publisher=Nylon|language=en|date=July 17, 2023|access-date=March 27, 2024}} Odd Eye Circle embarked on a tour to promote Version Up during August. In October, HaSeul released the digital single "Plastic Candy", which she promoted through a series of local concerts. Finally, HeeJin released the mini-album K on October 31st; the release of K was accompanied by the announcement of ARTMS' first album as a group, Dall, which is described as "a reset of the Loona worldview".{{Cite web|title=앨범 정보>멜론: K|url=https://www.melon.com/album/detail.htm?albumId=11354832|website=Melon|publisher=Kakao Entertainment Co.|language=ko|date=October 31, 2023|access-date=March 27, 2024|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231031092502/https://www.melon.com/album/detail.htm?albumId=11354832|archive-date=October 31, 2023}}

In December 2023, ARTMS released the digital single "The Carol 3.0"; the song is a new version of a Christmas carol previously released by Loona and is the first recording featuring all five members of ARTMS.{{Cite web|last=Ahn|first=Tae-hyun|title=아르테미스, 오늘 '더 캐럴 3.0' 발매…크리스마스 감성 담았다|url=https://www.news1.kr/articles/?5249066|publisher=News 1 Korea|language=ko|date=December 1, 2023|access-date=March 27, 2024}} The website of NME included the song (along with the previous Loona versions) in their list of 10 essential k-pop songs to listen to at holidays.{{Cite web|last=Daly|first=Rhian|title=10 essential K-pop Christmas songs for your holiday playlist|url=https://www.nme.com/features/music-features/best-essential-k-pop-christmas-songs-holiday-playlist-3555067|publisher=NME|language=en|date=December 11, 2023|access-date=March 27, 2024}}

Finally, at the beginning of March, it is confirmed that ARTMS' debut album will be released on May 31 of that year and will be preceded by four premiere singles; the first of them, "Birth", would be released along with a music video at the end of March.{{Cite web|last=Chin|first=Carmen|title=ARTMS announce debut full-length album ‘Dall’, out in May|url=https://www.nme.com/news/music/artms-announce-debut-full-length-album-dall-out-in-may-3595232|publisher=NME|language=en|date=March 1, 2024|access-date=March 27, 2024|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240302211605/https://www.nme.com/news/music/artms-announce-debut-full-length-album-dall-out-in-may-3595232|archive-date=March 2, 2024}} The title of the album, Dall, is an acronym for Devine All Love & Live and therefore incorporates the title of Loona's first mini-album Love & Live.{{Cite web|last=Yoon|first=Jong-jin|title=아르테미스, 첫 완전체 앨범 베일 벗는다…'글로벌 설렘' 폭발|url=https://www.apnews.kr/news/articleView.html?idxno=3016650|publisher=AP News|language=ko|date=February 9, 2024|access-date=March 27, 2024}}
