The veteran British artist started work on On Sunset soon after finishing 2018's True Meanings. Opening track "Mirror Ball" was from the TM sessions and originally slated as a b-side.

Most of the album sees Weller multi-tasking on various instruments with accompaniment from his regular band - Ben Gordelier appears on all tracks and Andy Crofts on most whilst Steve Cradock pops up with his guitar on 4 songs.

Among the guests that appear on On Sunset: Slade's Jim Lea adds violin to "Equanimity" and old Style Council mate Mick Talbot adds Hammond Organ to 3 tracks. "More" features a verse sung by French singer Julie Gros, from the band Le Superhomard (whose album Meadow Lane Park was one of Weller's favourites of 2019) as well as the return of The Strypes guitarist Josh McClorey. English folk trio The Staves contribute backing vocals for 3 tracks. Once again Hannah Peel does string arrangements and The Paraorchestra are on 4 selections.
