It also featured new songs reflecting Minchin's past experiences, relationships, social and political views such as "If This Plane Goes Down", "Leaving LA", "I'll Take Lonely Tonight", "Carry You" and "Talked Too Much, Stayed Too Long" which also feature on Minchin's studio album Apart Together released in 2020.
