Background edit

Parlez-Vous Hate? was released shortly after Rome's previous album, The Lone Furrow. Project leader Jérôme Reuter wrote that he was able to release this album so quickly because of the free time due to the COVID-19 pandemic cancelling his live performances, giving him more free time to spend in the studio.[5]

Two singles from the album were released on YouTube prior to the album release: "Panzerschokolade", on December 31, 2020,[6] and "Parlez-Vous Hate?", on January 21, 2021.[7]
