The revealing chamber pop/folk album 'In Case I Make it' (ICIMI), which Will Wood playfully dubbed 'Goodbye Cruel World: The Musical,' turned out to be a surprisingly strong followup to his chaotic and sardonic previous release, 'The Normal Album.' While divisive among some fans due to its gentler sounds and more traditional vocal stylings than most of his last work, ICIMI attracted new, older audiences and showed a more personal side that provided a new context to his discography. Widely considered to be some of his most powerfully emotional work, both the harshly introspective and humorous songwriting, as well as its unique delivery, are still distinctly Will Wood in their experimental nature and uncompromising unwillingness to conform to the expectations of both die-hard fans and audiences at large.

In 2021, the underground singer-songwriter was suddenly the subject of unexpected online attention, which, in tandem with mental health struggles, inspired him to put out a 'musical suicide note,' intended to express parts of his artistic and personal identity that had gone largely unseen by a fanbase he felt misunderstood. Leading the album with intentionally algorithm-unfriendly singles and putting an eight-minute love ballad as the second track on the LP, Wood aggressively redefined himself as being more than just a handful of wacky, unwitting viral pops. Ironically, the surprise viral success of the deep cut 'The Main Character,' a relentless satire of online culture, drew attention to the album and its second biggest hit, the angst-ridden yet danceable 'Against the Kitchen Floor.' However, the immense orchestration and vulnerable writing have kept audiences coming back. Songs like 'Euthanasia' and 'Tomcat Disposables' have developed reputations as tearjerkers, and songs like 'Cicada Days' and 'White Noise' have become fan anthems in the years since.
