Angus Young told USA Today that Power Up is a tribute to his late brother and bandmate, Malcolm Young, who died in 2017.

"I think he would be proud of the job we've done for him," Angus Young said. "Even the title we gave it, Power Up, pretty much sums him up, too. When he put on that guitar, he was one big guitar. To put it this way: When he played guitar, it sounded like there were two people playing."

Power Up is AC/DC's first album since Rock or Bust, released in 2014, and the first to feature the band's best known lineup since Black Ice, released in 2008.
