On 22 June 2011, Kent signed a recording contract with [[Universal Music Group|Universal Music]] in Sweden, after sixteen years with [[Bertelsmann Music Group|BMG]] and later [[Sony Music Entertainment|Sony Music]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://kent.nu/2011/06/22/kent-skriver-avtal-med-universal-music/|title=Kent skriver avtal med Universal Music|date=22 June 2011|website=Kent.nu|accessdate=11 August 2022}}</ref> The band's manager, Martin Roos, said in a press release: "After sixteen years with BMG/Sony Music it feels great with a new beginning, and Universal Music gave us the best offer." In April 2012, Kent released their tenth studio album, ''[[Jag är inte rädd för mörkret]]'' (Swedish for "I Am Not Afraid of the Dark"). It was recorded in [[France]]. The album included the songs "[[999 (Kent song)|999]]" and "[[Jag ser dig]]" which was well received by both fans and critics. ''Jag är inte rädd för mörkret'' is piano-based.

During the summer, Kent toured Scandinavia, first with a short spring tour at the end of May (24 May–2 June) and then at festivals and own concerts in Sweden, Norway, Finland and Denmark during June, July and August. During this summer tour they started their concerts with an old unreleased song named "Ögon" from the early 1990s, with a new version of the song.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.aftonbladet.se/a/0EoeOM|title=Glödhett, Kent|date=20 August 2012|website=Aftonbladet.se}}</ref> The song was included in the 2008 compilation ''[[Box 1991–2008]]'', but only as a demo from the early 1990s.

On 29 November 2013, Kent went to [[Los Angeles]] and recorded their eleventh studio album, Berg said in an interview: "We wanted to do this kind of Fleetwood Mac thing and go to LA and dream under the sun.
