Blondie began working on their tenth album shortly after the release of their ninth studio album, Panic of Girls (2011).[5] In early March 2013, the band announced via Facebook and Twitter that they were putting finishing touches to new music, and it would be released later that year.[6] The album was recorded at Mercy Sound Studios in New York City and at Skyline Studios in Oakland, California.[7] Guitarist and co-founder Chris Stein announced that artists scheduled to feature on the album include girl group Stush, hip hop group Los Rakas, and Colombian electronica artist Systema Solar.[6] On June 18, the group announced through Facebook that they were still recording but almost finished, while revealing that their next album would be titled Ghosts of Download.[8] Stein stated in August that an EDM collaboration with Hector Fonseca would be included on the album.[9]

"This project was ongoing since we finished Panic of Girls", Stein commented. "It's been like two years that I have been working on this. This one is more computer-based than the last record, which was more band-based. A lot of the programmed parts remained on the record, more so than the previous records. I spent a lot of time doing this at home, and then sending things back and forth with our producer Jeff Saltzman. He helped develop melodies with me, and that was really gratifying. And he had this assistant, Natalie Hawkins, who helped with the melodies too. There was a lot of collaboration with this record, more so than previous records, except perhaps for Autoamerican (1980) which had a lot of outside players on it, even an orchestra."[5]

Debbie Harry also commented, "It's always the music; the music is the primary inspiration. Every piece has its own mood, its own arc and a lot of times the lyrics sort of suggest themselves."[5]

"Oh, with Debbie, we just have a lot of unsaid communication, a lot of non-verbal stuff goes on. I don't have to ask her much because she will always have the same conclusions", Stein said. Harry agreed: "Most recently, there were a couple of lines in a song that he came up with, and then there were two more lines that had to be written, and I had already written them. So I mean, it just sort of happens. It's easy for us."[5]
