“Overall, a lot of these songs are about trying to reach yourself—how to be your most brilliant self... because we come from a culture that doesn't actually support this,” Deradoorian said in a statement. “We are so deeply programmed to obey societal boundaries that we don't even know the power we contain within.” Deradoorian cited the music of Can, Damo Suzuki, Pharoah Sanders, and Sun Ra as influences on the album.

Find the Sun arrives nearly five years after The Expanding Flower Planet, the debut LP from the former Dirty Projectors member. The same year, she appeared on a Janet Jackson tribute compilation titled Dear Janet, covering Jackson’s 1986 song “The Pleasure Principle.” She more recently released a a mini-album called External Recurrence in 2017.
