What have the artists said about the album?
NME published an article on October 1st, 2020 in which vocalist Ryan Potter said:
It’s a coming of age album that deals in love and loss but it’s also about our label troubles and getting through the other side. There’s a lot of angst, a lot of revenge and it’s about overcoming adversity. We’ve been through a lot of shit but it’s really fueled this album. Life is a crazy thing but you’ve just got to pick yourself up and make sure you stay true to yourself. For us, it’s been a huge catharsis for us to record the album and tackle a lot of what we were put through. Now we can move on with this new era of The Hunna.
We’ve always wanted to experiment with different instrumentation, but on our previous records we were limited by what we could do because we were meant to be this straight-up indie rock band. That’s what we started out as organically – but as a musician you want to grow and play with your new influences. With this album, we finally started messing around with our hip-hop influences. The Weeknd is a huge influence for me as well and songs like ‘Horror' are a nod to that. It’s fun to take what The Hunna is and mess around with that.
We wanted it to be impactful in terms of how awful things can be, but also how we can come together and fight for the right things. It’s a positive record and even though there are some darker moments, it’s about overcoming that and finding light. There’s a lot of powerful messages on this album and I hope people gain strength and feel united by it. That sense of unity is so important right now.

What have the artists said about working w/ producer John Feldman for the album?
NME published an article on October 1st, 2020 in which vocalist Ryan Potter said:
It was the best experience. To save the label money on our second album, we had to record it in two weeks. But for this one, it was a much more relaxed environment. We had more time to experiment and John just got us. One of the great things about working with Feldy is that he’s got so many talented friends. One day, Josh Dun just turned up without warning and we wrote ‘Dark Times’ together. We also wrote ‘One Second Left’ with Pete Wentz and ‘Cover You’ with Travis Barker.
