Background

Kellin Quinn expressed his feelings on touring and performing the tracks from Gossip in a 2019 interview with Loudwire . "The year or two after touring that record, I had a really hard time going onstage and believing in the things I was saying. I didn't feel like a legend. I didn't feel like all those positive things that I was trying to push across to people. After Gossip, we weren't sure what we were going to do. We were talking about maybe doing a hiatus." [9] Quinn explained that his biggest regret was not taking a break from the band and touring. "I should’ve said something, but I just kind of rolled with it. I think that’s my biggest regret." [9]

For unknown reasons, Matt Good is credited to produce an unknown twelfth track (on standard edition), which is non-existent on the album. [10]
