The Car received critical acclaim upon its release. The singles " There'd Better Be a Mirrorball", " Body Paint" and "I Ain't Quite Where I Think I Am" were released in promotion, all of which peaked within the top 25 on the UK Singles Chart. Its lyrical content explores show business, specifically the music and film industries, and nostalgia. It also draws influence from soul music, electronic music, glam rock, bossa nova, traditional pop and vintage film soundtracks. It features a wide array of genres that include Art rock, orchestral rock, lounge pop, baroque pop, and funk, as well as elements of jazz. The Car builds upon the sound from the band's previous album, Tranquility Base Hotel and Casino (2018). Its title refers to said cover and the abundance of references to vehicles in the lyrics. Drummer Matt Helders took the picture on the album cover, which depicts a white car in an otherwise empty car park. It was arranged by Bridget Samuels and Turner. It was produced in Suffolk, Paris and London by frequent Arctic Monkeys collaborator James Ford, alongside frequent guest musicians Tom Rowley, Loren Humphrey and Tyler Parkford. It was written by band frontman Alex Turner in his home in Los Angeles and Paris. The Car is the seventh studio album by English rock band Arctic Monkeys, released on 21 October 2022 by Domino Recording Company.
