Production
After being signed to Tonal Records, the band started work on their newest album. After a few months of writing, production was halted when rhythm guitarist Joe Simmons was accidentally murdered in a drive-by shooting in downtown Chicago. The band mourned the loss of their fellow member, and after a few weeks, they started looking for a replacement guitarist. Simmons had co-written two songs prior to his death, and both are present on the final album.
Lauren Jensen had taken over lead writing duties on the album (a task former lead singer Denis Porter held).

New lead singer Victor Morgan wrote one song on the album by himself, a request made by Jensen. Another request was for longtime producer Dave Shevil to contribute to the song The Little Things, which eventually became one of the band's most well-known songs.
