As the title suggests, the album features covers of previously released tracks by well known rock, pop, rap, and indie artists.
Because of the profanities in some covers, such as "Creep", "Teenagers" and the skit "Really", this is Gray's first album to officially bear a Parental Advisory warning, though a clean version was also issued.
Gray appeared on Conan to promote the album.
