Brand said the whole experience of making this album was "a vastly different experience to all the other albums" he has made. He said "It was a calm and stress free process and I put that down to the place in life I'm at. I felt no pressure in putting this album together... no urgency to find that big hit song... to be honest I let my heart guide me this time, and my heart was full of the wonderful notion of my baby girl who was about to be born. I whole heartedly believe she gave me that calmness and clarity in knowing what I wanted to sing about this time around." [1]
