The band was first formed in 2010 as a trio under the name Orange O'Clock, with guitarist Anthony Simoneau-Dubuc as the third member. As Orange O'Clock they released the album Crazy Carnival independently in 2014,^[2] and won CBC Music's Searchlight competition for unsigned bands in 2015.^[3] The following year they were finalists in the Unisong International Song Contest, finishing in second place with their song "Wax 'n Wane".^[4]

Orange O'Clock had begun work on their second album, even reaching the stage of releasing the album's first single "Get It On" in early 2017,^[5] when Simoneau-Dubuc left the band.^[6] The Fortin brothers opted to continue as a duo, changing their name to Hey Major and evolving from Orange O'Clock's rock-based sound toward a more pop-oriented approach defined by Mickaël Fortin's keyboards.^[7] As Hey Major they signed to Indica Records, which released the album The Station in 2019.^[8]
