Dolly was nominated for induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame on February 2, 2022. A little over a month later on March 14, Dolly took to social media to decline her nomination, saying she was "extremely flattered and grateful," but didn’t feel that she had earned it. She went on to say that the nomination had inspired her to "put out a hopefully great rock 'n' roll album at some point in the future." The Hall of Fame responded by saying that she had earned it and that she would remain on the ballot. Dolly stated during a promotional interview for her book Run, Rose, Run, that she had changed her mind and if inducted she would "accept gracefully." The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame announced Dolly as a member of the Class of 2022 on May 4 alongside Pat Benatar, Duran Duran, Eminem, the Eurythmics, Lionel Richie, and Carly Simon. Dolly said she was "honored and humbled" by the honor. Dollymania was the first to announce that Dolly had begun recording her rock album when they announced on August 15 that she had recorded a song with Sting that was currently being engineered. Dolly announced that she had officially retired from touring in the Rock Hall of Fame special edition of Pollstar magazine in October, saying, "I do not think I will ever tour again, but I do know I'll do special shows here and there, now and then." She went on to announce that work had begun on her rock album, with plans to re-record "Stairway to Heaven" (which she had previously recorded on 2002's Halos & Horns) and that she wanted to collaborate with Ed Sheeran, Heart, Stevie Nicks, and goddaughter Miley Cyrus, among others. She also said she had written a special song titled "Rockin' It" to perform at her Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction. And that it would likely be recorded for inclusion on the album. Dolly was officially inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame on November 5 by P!nk, and then proudly exclaimed, "I'm a Rockstar now!" P!nk and Brandi Carlile performed "Coat of Many Colors", followed by a rendition of "9 to 5" by Zac Brown Band and Sheryl Crow. Dolly returned to the stage and performed her original song "Rockin' It". The evening closed with an all-rockstar performance of "Jolene" by Dolly, P!nk, Annie Lennox, Simon Le Bon of Duran Duran, Rob Halford, Sheryl Crow, Brandi Carlile, Pat Benatar and more.
Dolly rang in the New Year with goddaughter Miley Cyrus as they co-hosted the festivities on NBC where they performed "I Love Rock 'n' Roll" and a mash-up of "Wrecking Ball" and "I Will Always Love You" before closing out the evening with "Walking After Midnight" and "Jolene". Dolly told USA Today in January 2023 that she had Elton John, Paul McCartney, Miley Cyrus, Steven Tyler, and Joan Jett slated to appear on her rock album in addition to Stevie Nicks on a cover of Nicks' "What Has Rock 'n' Roll Ever Done for Me", John Fogerty on "Long as I Can See the Light", Simon Le Bon of Duran Duran on "My Blue Tears", Steve Perry on "Open Arms", P!nk and Brandi Carlile on "(I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction" (and that she was still hoping for Mick Jagger to join them), and that she would hopefully get Cher and Annie Lenox on "Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)". Later that month Jimmy Buffet posted a photo of himself with Dolly, Emmylou Harris, and Sheryl Crow which suggested that they would all feature on Dolly's upcoming rock album. Pat Benatar also posted about finishing her duet with Dolly on a song she described as her favorite of all-time. In mid-March, Motley Crue bassist Nikki Sixx tweeted about his participation on a song for the album. On March 29, Garth Brooks and Dolly were announced as the hosts for the ACM Awards to be held on May 11, where Dolly would debut the lead single from her upcoming rock album. Dolly announced the single would be titled "World on Fire" during a Good Morning America appearance on April 25. Two days later on April 27, Dolly announced that the album would be released in November and that she had not been able to collaborate with Mick Jagger for the project.
