After the release of Us (1992) and his Secret World Live tour, Gabriel began
work on the album. Its name was Up from the start, though at one point it
was considered to be called I/O. Gabriel began saying the album was near
completion somewhere around 1998 but did not release it until September of
2002. In the months preceding the album's release, video clips of Gabriel
talking about the songs as well as short demos of each song were released at
the coming of every full moon on Gabriel's official website.

The album's lyrics deal mostly with birth and especially death. The opening
track, "Darkness", is a song about overcoming fears. "Growing Up" is a
summation of life put to a pulsating beat. "Sky Blue" is a track Gabriel claims
to have been working on for over 20 years before finishing it. The track "No
Way Out" is the first track to deal with death solely, though death is a
common theme across the entire album. "I Grieve" was conceived after
Gabriel looked over his catalogue of music as if it were a catalogue of
emotional tools. He found one major missing tool to be one to cope with
death and therefore "I Grieve" was born (first aired in 1998, despite the
popular belief that it was written in response to 9/11). The first single from
Up, "The Barry Williams Show" is a down-beat, jazzy song dealing with reality
talk shows such as Jerry Springer. The second single, "More Than This" is one
of the more upbeat songs from the album. The song wonders over there
being something more to life. The song "Signal to Noise" was a challenge for
Gabriel because the guest vocalist for the track, Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, died.
All that was left to work with were recordings from a live performance of an
early version of the song at the VH1 Witness show on April 28, 1996. Finally,
"The Drop" consists of only Gabriel and a Bösendorfer grand piano.

Many artists, including Trent Reznor and Elbow, remixed the tracks. These
remixes were included as b-sides to the singles.

The song "I Grieve" is (in an earlier version) on the soundtrack from City of
Angels (1998), as well as featuring in the Smallville episode "Reckoning".
"Signal to Noise" appeared on the soundtrack from Gangs of New York
(2002).
