A tradition that had started during the band's early years, studio warm-ups would often consist of the members performing their favorite songs released by other artists. While in the studio recording their upcoming album [[Revamp (album)|Revamp]], Shevil had the recording engineer record their sessions. Once the first handful were recorded, Shevil presented the idea of releasing an album made up entirely of covers. He noted that fans often talked about the band's covers that ended a few of their albums, and said this might be a great opportunity to give them more of what they loved.

Untitled

Cover Me is the eighth album released by Foolish Creeper and is consists of covers of other popular songs throughout the years.

Production

A tradition that began during the band's early years was for studio warm-ups to often include the members performing their favorite songs by other artists. While recording their upcoming album Revamp, Shevil had the recording engineer document their sessions. After recording the first few, Shevil proposed the idea of releasing an album entirely made up of covers. He mentioned that fans often discussed the band's cover songs that closed some of their albums, and he believed this could be a great opportunity to give fans more of what they loved.

Over the next few years of recording, the band recorded a total of 14 songs for the album, including a re-recording of I Think We're Alone Now, which previously appeared on the band's Look Again album from 1992.
