The Cure's highly anticipated album, Songs of a Lost World, released on November 1, 2024, had a notably different origin in its title. Initially, the album was set to be titled Live From The Moon, inspired by Robert Smith's fascination with the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landing. This working title reflected Smith's lifelong interest in stargazing and the significant event that captivated him as a young boy, especially the memory of watching the moon landing with his father.

Over the five years of the album's development, Smith continued to refine the material and shift its focus. The final title, Songs of a Lost World, better captures the album's darker, more melancholic tone, influenced by Smith's recent personal losses, including the deaths of his mother, father, and brother. This title change highlights the album's exploration of themes such as mortality, loss, and the passage of time, marking a significant departure from its original lunar-inspired concept.
