Bright Eyes released "Mariana Trench" on 22 June 2020, with Conor Oberst writing the words and sharing the music credit with Mike Mogis and Nate Walcott. The three produced it together, and Mogis mixed it.

The credits read like a block party. Flea plays bass, Jon Theodore covers drums, timpani and percussion, and Zack de la Rocha adds more percussion on top. There's a horn section, too: Steve Holtman and Alex Iles on trombone, Jon Lewis and Daniel Rosenboom on trumpet, and John Mitchell on baritone sax. Jesca Hoop and MiWi La Lupa add their voices, Steve Churchyard and Michael Harris engineered, Tim Thomas did additional engineering, and Chris Cerullo and Chandler Harrod assisted.
