Brice confirmed the album's track listing in September 2020. The album's release was preceded by the two singles "One of Them Girls" and "Memory I Don't Mess With". Also included on the album is "I Hope You're Happy Now", a duet with Carly Pearce from the latter's self-titled album. The Voice contestant Blessing Offor sings duet vocals on the title track. [1]

Critical reception

Rating it 3.5 out of 5 stars, Stephen Thomas Erlewine of AllMusic found the album to contain more stylistic variety than its predecessors. He also said of Brice that "he wears his impending middle age quite well, proving that even if he's changing his fashions, what looks best on him is something with a little heart." [2]
