[2] It was confirmed in September 2013 that the Pretty Reckless had parted ways with Interscope Records,[3] followed by the announcement that the band had signed with the Razor & Tie label.

[9] In support of the album, the band embarked on the Going to Hell Tour on September 20, 2013, featuring Heaven's Basement and Louna as opening acts.

[15] The track listing, album cover, and release date were announced on January 21, 2014, and a number of limited pre-order bundles were made available on the band's website.

"[30] Jon Wiederhorn of Revolver stated, "She may still be a dirty girl, but Momsen leaves most chick rockers in her rearview mirror thanks to her greatest assets—her daring arrangements and well-crafted tunes.

"[33] Rolling Stone's Chuck Eddy wrote, "This New York band's brash second album rages with the upbeat, beat-wise humor that hard rock has suppressed ever since grunge.

"[32] In a mixed assessment of the album, Q expressed that "[b]latant Queen rip-off 'Heaven Knows' is fun, but it all goes wrong when she breaks out ballads.

It's got every contrived reference possible along with clips of brainwashing television sermons and sound bites recreated from cheap porn.

[39] All tracks are written by Taylor Momsen and Ben Phillips, except where notedCredits adapted from the liner notes of Going to Hell.
