The album features contributions by Tatum's wife Dana, as well as fellow musicians Hatchie, Molly Burch, Becca Mancari, and Tommy Davidson of Beach Fossils.

According to Tatum, it explores "existential themes" without taking itself too seriously, unafraid to be either "pop" or "strange", "fun" or "sad", and reflects what the musician loves doing and feels "grateful" for.

[5] The album was preceded by three singles: "Headlights On" featuring Hatchie, a track that felt "incredibly cathartic" to Tatum,[6] on August 16, 2023, "Suburban Solutions" on September 12, and "Dial Tone" on October 3.

Self-producing for the first time since 2010, Tatum dabbles in one-off genre experiments, toys with eccentric lyrical devices, and embraces a maximalist ethos that sets this album apart".

[8] Tyler Golsen, reviewing the album for Far Out, summarized it as "a straightforward dive into the bright lights of 1980s synthpop", ultimately finding it to be "little more than a pleasant diversion, one with real skill and joy but also with few surprises".
