Prior to the release of the album, the group made a webisode series documenting the recording process. On the differences between their first and second albums, Hayley Mary told news.com.au: "We were facing the second album thing which is a cliche but it's straight-up true. The second album is hard. Working with a new producer, new label involved, away from our families and Dave our manager, it was different. But lyrically, the album is more a year in the life of (me as) a person because I have always pretended things were not about me in the lyrics. This one is personal."
