Snippets were shared, although the song would not make the final cut, due to being heavily unfinished.
The song was shelved for a temporary amount of time. Jazmin at the time wanted to include a feature on the song. Sometime in 2020, Jazmin met Lucy Loone, and confined with them that they wanted to feature another singer on "Carnage", specifically talking about how they wanted another person in the music video. sometime after this, Lucy was pitched the track, and they wrote and recorded their verse.
Multiple portions of the song's lyrics were teased by Jazmin, through Instagram posts.[1] A snippet of the song's third demo was posted sometime around 2021 as well. Jazmin has stated that the song is directed at people who have a "hater" mentality.
Release and Promotion[]

The song was re-scheduled multiple times, until the Jazmin's label decided on a date that would make the single perform better in terms of streaming and promotion.

Background
The music video was recorded a day after the "Puppy Pound" video was shot. In the behind the scenes video, Jazmin explained that the music video was an exact interpretation of the song, going through challenges to bounce back and succeed. Jazmin has since stated that they did not like co-directing both the "Carnage" and "Puppy Pound" music videos, stating that they will only lead direct their music videos from now on.
The director, Shan Phearon stated in an interview on the creation of the music video:❝ Jaz wanted to drive. They needed a car crash. And a flowery field at some point. Just top-line to decipher. By then, I’d spent months studying the artist and cult fanbase for Puppy Pound. Immersed like ‘method’ Christian Bale in the Jaz metaverse, I had enough to work with.
The label had set us up with healthy time to nurture artist-to-director creative rapport, where I could coach artist development, as well as develop the videos. Getting results, the very supportive Island label team (Holly Williams, Emily Jefferies, Max Creswell and co) and artist manager Donny Tourette, whom I worked closely with, trusted the process. ❞ — Shan Phearon
