Grace Under Pressure is Rush's 10th studio recording, released in April of 1984. It was recorded at Le Studio, like so many other Rush albums. Rush originally approached producer Steve Lillywhite to record Grace Under Pressure, but he went on to work on other projects. The band produced the album themselves, with assistance from Peter Henderson, who had previously worked with Supertramp, Split Enz, Frank Zappa, and King Crimson.

Largely considered one of the band's darkest albums, Grace Under Pressure was influenced by the growing tensions in the Cold War in the 1980s. The album's running theme is "pressure" and how humans act under the influence of it. Despite the dark themes of the record, the band balances out influences from a lot of directions, including reggae and a harder feel of the classic hard rock sound.

The writing and rehearsing of the album went quickly, but the recording took a long time. Alex Lifeson recalled: "…once we got into the studio, things just took a long time. You can't really help it sometimes, no matter how hard you work or how fast you work; there are certain things about recording that just take a long time."

Throughout the years 2014 and 2015, Rush celebrate their 40th anniversary with vinyl reissues of albums from their Mercury era.
