Snoop and Dre have spent the past few years working on their new body of work. Missionary serves as the follow-up to Snoop Dogg's debut album Doggystyle, which was also executive produced by Dr. Dre. The duo sparked rumors about a new album shortly after they hit the stage for their award-winning Super Bowl performance in 2022. A few months later, Snoop Dogg revealed the album title during his appearance on Stephen A. Smith's K[no]w Mercy podcast.

The project was originally supposed to arrive in November 2022 in celebration of the 30th anniversary of Snoop's first studio album. However, the plans were pushed back a couple of times before the duo finally confirmed December 13 as the official release date. The 15-track album is led by Snoop's recent single "Gorgeous" featuring Jhené Aiko and also includes other collaborations with Eminem, 50 Cent, Method Man, Jelly Roll, Sting, Tom Petty and BJ The Chicago Kid.
