It's rather debatable whether one sounds more natural or technical than
the other. Also, background tends to suggest concurrency - which is
not the case.
In any case, it's all subjective. If you prefer, you can configure
your own "custom" company locale (akin to a new language) with the name
you choose. The Eclipse plugin will pick up the locale you've
configured in your Configuration.
Or you can use the Gherkin syntax directly.

I have a little suggestion concerning "lifecycle" steps.
This is a cool feature. But the name "lifecycle" sounds quite
technical and can intimidate testers and business analysts, unlike the
other elements of a story.
In Cucumber they call it "background" which does not sound so technical.
It is not a big issue for me, but I think a "natural" name like
"background" would be more appropriate. Of course I could change the
keyword names locally (for the Eclipse plugin it would be more
tricky), but just as a feedback.
