Duran Duran released their latest studio album, Danse Macabre, on October 27, 2023. The band talked about their new album via a post in their exclusive interview with Classic Pop on December 20, 2023, with Nick Rhodes stating:
"Rhodes: At this point, we can do whatever we want. This record makes us smile. It’s recaptured our sense of fun. When we started, we could have gone out there and waved flags like a lot of other post-punk bands. But, instead of standing in the quagmire complaining about it, we decided to get out of it and try to drag other people out of it with us."
The singer continued:
"Our place was to lift people’s spirits and sometimes take a look on the lighter side. If everything is darkness, the world can be pretty miserable. So many horrible things are happening in the world, you need a little levity. This album is darkly funny, which makes us all happy."
Roger Taylor later added:
"A lot of our studio albums have been long, tortuous processes that take years to get to the point we need. There is certainly a perfectionist streak that runs through all of the band members. We’re definitely a bunch of perfectionists. Sometimes, that makes for a difficult recording process, where nothing feels good enough."
The band member continued:
"We’ll keep working away, recreating, remixing, reworking. With this record, it was all very straightforward."

Duran Duran later explained that the album concept came about due to the fascination of Nick Rhodes with Halloween and the pagan celebration of the paranormal behind it. The band worked with Nile Rodgers and Victoria De Angelis of the band Måneskin as guest artists on the album.
The album also featured Warren Cuccurullo. The album consists of 13 tracks in the standard edition, with additional tracks in the deluxe edition.
