While most MTV Unplugged albums and EPs cut out sections of their performances, some have been known to keep some of the spoken word parts before, between and after songs. twenty one pilots' is confirmed to include at least a portion of their introduction.

Its earliest confirmation comes from a listing in PPL’s database. Most of the release years show 2022 since that is when the album was originally planned to be released.

Reasons for its delay are currently unknown, though speculation leads to the failure of obtaining release rights for their cover performance of M.I.A.’s “Bad Girls,” which was cut from prerecorded livestream. Additionally, images and screenshots from its leaked product listing for an exclusive vinyl release confirmed both the inclusion of an introduction and the omission of “Bad Girls.”

At the time, it was unknown as to how much of the introduction would be released via music streaming services and the aforementioned vinyl. Once a pre-save link for its Apple Music listing was shared, a distinctly shorter runtime than the one used for the livestream guaranteed a cut-down version for audio streaming.
