Lifetime Achievement was unleashed in 2022. Co-produced by regular collaborators Dick Connette and Stewart Lerman, the album was Wainwright's first to feature new original material since the release of Haven't Got the Blues (Yet) in 2014.
Written as Wainwright enters what he called “chronologically [his] last years”, the album features a mostly stripped-back acoustic aesthetic. The lyrical content covers the COVID-19 pandemic, family life, and experiences and reflections from the perspective of Wainwright in his 70s. Regarding the album's overall positive attitude, Wainwright noted: “There are a number of songs that would make you wonder what’s happened here. It’s not the usual cynical nihilist that we’ve grown to love over the years. There is an optimism. The last few years have been good to me.”
