Mumford & Sons decided not to change their sound on Babel, which is the follow-up to 2009's highly successful Sigh No More, which elevated them to international fame. "Not With Haste" was a re-written version of the song "Learn Me Right" which they had performed with Birdy for the soundtrack of the film Brave. Most of these songs, including "Broken Crown" and "Below My Feet", had already been played live on numerous occasions before the album's release.
In late 2010, Mumford & Sons had already begun road-testing new material that they had been working on. The album received generally positive reviews from music critics and was nominated in the category of Album of the Year for both a Brit Award and a Grammy Award, winning the latter. It became the fastest-selling album of 2012 in the UK, selling over 159,000 copies in its first week, and was the biggest selling debut of any album in 2012 in the US at the time, selling 600,000 in its first week. Upon its release, Babel debuted at number one on both the UK Albums Chart and the US Billboard 200. It was released on 24 September 2012 in the United Kingdom, Scandinavia, Spain, Italy, Eastern Europe, South America, and on 25 September 2012 in the United States and Canada. It was released on 21 September 2012 in Ireland, Germany, Belgium, the Netherlands, Luxembourg, Norway, Australia and New Zealand. The vinyl LP version of the record was pressed by United Record Pressing in Nashville, Tennessee. As with Sigh No More, the album was produced by Markus Dravs.

Mumford & Sons - There Will Be Time (feat.You heard my voice I came out of the woods by choice Shelter also gave their shade But in the dark I have no name So leave that click in my head And I will remember the words that you said Left a clouded mind and a heavy heart But I was sure we could see a new start So when your hope's on fire But you know your desire Don't hold a glass over the flame Don't let your heart grow cold I will call you by name I will share your road But hold me fast, hold me fast 'Cause I'm a hopeless wanderer Hold me fast, hold me fast 'Cause I'm a hopeless wanderer I wrestled long with my youth We tried so hard to live in the truth But do not tell me all is fine When I lose my head, I lose my spine So leave that click in my head And I will remember the words that you said You brought me out from the cold Now, how I long, how I long to grow old So when your hope's on fire But you know your desire Don't hold a glass over the flame Don't let your heart grow cold I will call you by name I will share your road But hold me fast, hold me fast 'Cause I'm a hopeless wanderer Hold me fast, hold me fast 'Cause I'm a hopeless wanderer I will learn, I will learn to love the skies I'm under I will learn, I will learn to love the skies I'm under The skies I'm under
