Lacy produced "about 90% of the record" and came up with the title while drunk at a bar, also telling Zane Lowe that he wanted Gemini Rights to be concise so listeners could "make a decision to want to keep playing it again"
Lacy shared that the album is a collective story of him “coming into himself after a breakup.” He hoped the album is left to be interpreted by people “[however] they want to.”
Gemini Rights is an album that amplifies the artist’s “majestic mystique” discography, leading Lacy to hit #1 on Billboard Hot 100 for three weeks straight, months following the summer release date in 2022.[10] Gemini Rights is an album that Lacy hopes “will make people feel more unconditional love for one another.”
Lacy started working on the album in 2017, recording in his younger sister's bedroom (which he named Paramore Palace) after she left for college, in between sessions he had with other artists, as well as touring with his band, the Internet.
He also stated that he recorded much of the album using other methods than an iPod or iPhone.
The song, "Like Me", was written and recorded in July 2017, after a period in which Lacy said he hadn't written any music because of the emotions and fears he had expressing his sexuality.
The song features Daisy Hamel-Buffa who says they connected talking about their sexuality together in 2017 and Lacy came back later to ask that she sing on the track.
