[1] The songs "The Broken" and "Violence" plus "Red Eyed Romance" had already been written and recorded for the 2012 Stars in Stereo EP.

The six new songs were written while on tour in late 2012 and recorded soon after in 2013 in time for the album release.

The sound of the album was mostly of alternative rock with hints of pop music with electronic influences.

[2] The album contained an alternate version of the single "Every Last Thing" and an online link to a second bonus song, "Night by Night", located just below the disc inside the CD case.

The song "Half Life" was written and recorded for the album but was excluded from the final copy and released separately.
