Production

After the tour for Krezip's debut album Nothing Less finished, lead singer Jacqueline Govaert suffered from writer's block, hindering the quick recording of a follow-up. Additionally, the band underwent a change in sound. During the aforementioned tour, Govaert had damaged her vocal cords and required surgery, after which the character of her voice changed. The band also went from a five-piece to a six-piece; guitarist Annelies Kuijsters had injured her hand during the tour and was unable to continue playing the guitar. The band decided she would continue by playing keyboards, and enlisted guitarist Thomas Holthuis to take the vacant guitar position.
