Background
On June 15, 2017, the band announced their signing with Fearless Records, and premiered a new song "Feel Nothing". The band worked with producer Drew Fulk, the first time they've worked with an outside producer on an album. The album was officially announced on November 19, 2017.
The lyrics on the album deal with singer Landon Tewers "detaching himself from a toxic relationship" and "explores the stages of said relationship". The album is the first by the band to be written and recorded as a full band, previous records were written and performed by Tewers entirely. The band wrote 20 songs in preparation for the album. Tewers drew inspiration from pop acts including Sevdaliza, Jorja Smith and The Weeknd when writing the album. The album features a departure from previous sound, with electronic instrumentation and "R&B-inspired" clean vocals.
