Background

Speaking about the album, lead singer Jean Paul Makhlouf said,

"The album contains songs about love, hate, lust, and obsession. In a weird, messed up way, I think all those themes are connected and need to be used in moderation. Too much of any of them will probably end your relationship or drive you insane, but too little will most likely do the same. You can't have love without hate, and you'll never appreciate what it means to be madly in love. Love without lust or small amounts of obsession gets super stale." [1]

The album was recorded in their home studio in Roseland, New Jersey. [1] The album is described as dance, synthetic and techno. [5] Tracks such as "Sexin' On The Dance Floor" and "One Night Stand" are described as dance, while "Jersey Girl" is callback to their home state. [6] [5] "I Have One Regret" presents a serious side to the album. [6]

"Victim of Love" was released as the lead single from the album on April 5, 2011. [7] The song peaked at number two on the iTunes Dance chart hours after its release. [1] A song remix was released on April 26, and was included as a bonus track for the album. [8] The second single, "Sexin' on the Dance Floor" was released on June 7. [9] The song features vocals from Villacari's sister, ADG. [6] The album reached number two on the iTunes Dance chart. [5]

Critical reception

Time Out called the album "as generic as they come, all Eurodance beats, faux-sleazy R&B and vocoder vocals." [10]
