Production and composition

Joey Valence & Brae chose the songs "Hyperyouth" and "Live Right" to announce the album as they felt they represented the tone and themes of the album from different perspectives. They described "Hyperyouth" as a high-energy, sample-heavy track that celebrates artists that inspired the duo, while "Live Right" is more anthemic and deals with growing up. ^{[4] [5]}

The duo have described it as an album about growing up. ^[6] Joey Valence listed Nurture, Shock Value, The E.N.D., Brat, Discovery, Oracular Spectacular, Graduation, My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, and Igor as influences on the album. ^{[7] [6]}
