Nick 13 from American psychobilly band Tiger Army is featured on the track "A Single Second", performing vocals on the chorus.

The phrase "a fire inside", the band's current moniker, is sung in the introductory track, "Keeping Out of Direct Sunlight".

[5] The band name appears in a Roman font, while the album title is italicized and stylized in lower case except the first letter of the first word.

The black, yellow and reddish cover features the head and shoulders of a young man wearing a suit, a patterned red carpet over three stairs, above which a figure levitates between a pair of potted flames.

Behind the CD tray is an achromatic illustration of a man in suit and shorts, illuminated in white, twisting a skeleton key to a huge lock, which has been keeping some dark doorway shut.
