Following the release of Halcyon, Goulding announced that she had plans to repackage the original album, with new songs that focused on electronic music. For the reissue, Goulding recorded 10 new songs and worked with a variety of producers, including Ryan Tedder, Calvin Harris and Greg Kurstin, to create her desired sound. Upon release, Halcyon Days met generally positive receptions from music critics, who praised the album's musical expansion, its production and happier lyrical content.
