Background

The album was called Lynch's most "relentlessly honest and self-inquisitive project to date" and lyrically addresses why Lynch has not "settled down and gotten married yet" and questions "what it means [for Lynch] to still be single in his late 30s". The title track lyrically talks about a woman having broken Lynch's heart as having "killed the cowboy". Lynch stated that he hoped the album would reach "single people of the world and lift them up, to let them know that you don't have to live a 'normal' life to still be happy in your own skin". [4]
