In September 2007, Eminem called into New York radio station Hot 97 during a 50 Cent interview and said he is "in limbo" and "debating" about when and if he would release another album. He said, "I'm always working -- I'm always in the studio. It feels good right now, the energy of the label. For a while, I didn't want to go back to the studio ... I went through some personal things. I'm coming out of those personal things [and] it feels good." And though he jokingly said he'd release the new CD "tomorrow", there is no official release date, according to Interscope.[51]
The same month, Dr. Dre confirmed in an interview for the Los Angeles Times that he would be devoting two months to work on Eminem's new album, stating that the two planned to complete the album and at the same time work on other of Dr. Dre's projects.[52]
Interscope finally confirmed that a new Eminem album was being released and could possibly be in stores before the end of the year.[53] The announcement coincided with Eminem's September 2008 appearance on Shade 45 in which he said, "Right now I'm kinda just concentrating on my own stuff, for right now and just banging out tracks and producing a lot of stuff. You know, the more I keep producing the better it seems like I get 'cause I just start knowing stuff." Eminem had reportedly spent the last month in Florida working with Dr. Dre on the album.[54]
The next month, Eminem announced that the title of his next album would be Relapse and that it would be released by the end of the year. He stated this on his Shade 45 radio station as they broadcasted live from a party that was celebrating the release of his book.[55][56] However, Eminem later refuted his statement on the TRL finale, instead saying that the album would be released in the first quarter of 2009.[57]
