"Matter of Time" sits on Soul of a Woman, the seventh and last studio album from Sharon Jones & the Dap-Kings, released on November 17, 2017, a year after cancer took Jones. Binky Griptite wrote it, one of the songs made fresh for the record to play to the strengths of her singing, and Bosco Mann produced.
Jones was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in 2013 and kept performing and recording; it went into remission in 2015, then came back, and she cut her vocals for this album during another round of treatment, finishing shortly before she died on November 18, 2016. The Dap-Kings completed the music and released the album on the anniversary of her death, and the band's soul and funk revivalism has rarely carried so much weight.
