The album's production was handled by various producers, including F1lthy, Lil 88, Star Boy, Outtatown, and TM88, and features guest appearances from Destroy Lonely and Lil Uzi Vert. A rage album, A Great Chaos is characterized by its maximalist production with glitchy, digitized instrumentation, hedonistic attitude coupled with moments of vulnerability and angst, and horror references. The album's lead single, "I Need U", was released on February 14, 2023. A deluxe edition with seven bonus tracks was released on July 5, 2024; it was preceded by the single "Overseas", released on on April 12.
A Great Chaos received critical acclaim, with praise for its appeal and production. Considered Carson's breakout album, it earned 48,000 album-equivalent units in its first week to debut at number 11 on the US Billboard 200, becoming Carson's first top 20 album, and performed well in Canada and Europe. The album was certified Gold by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) in September 2024. "Fighting My Demons" and "Overseas" were both certified Gold by the RIAA, with the latter becoming Carson's first charting song on the Billboard Hot 100, debuting at number 79.
