[39] ABC News wrote in a favorable review: "Platten's songs often are cemented by a strong message to believe in one’s self. It may seem cheesy to the cynical listeners, but she always sounds like she believes every word she says. You have to give her credit for attempting to turn her art into an inspiring platform. Even when she gets a little too over-the-top on the self-referencing 'Good Life,' you can’t help but root for her." [40] She co-wrote every song on the album.

Platten worked for nearly a decade playing cover performances and recording songs before gaining mainstream recognition as an artist. [52] [53] Platten's story and "Fight Song" has served as an inspiration for people around the world, who have used it as a motivation not to lose hope, when experiencing difficulties in life such as cancer, postpartum depression, and unemployment. [52] [54] [55] In 2017, she was presented with Gracies Impact Award, which is given to an artist who has made a positive impact on society through their music. [56] She wrote "Fight Song" at a low point, saying: [57]

It was about my own journey and my own fire that would not die, that was regardless of how much rejections I was getting, and how impossible it seemed for me to keep trying to make this dream happen, that I just wouldn't give up. The song was written at a moment of really needing to decide, "Dude, I'm 32 or 31, this is a little pathetic. I need to figure this out and get on with my life." Then I wrote "Fight Song" in this moment of just sheer desperation. I will not give up on myself. That's where it came from.

In January 2018, Platten appeared as a model in clothing brand Aerie's advertising campaign in photos that have not been retouched. [2] She appeared on the cover of The Improper Bostonian magazine's May 2018 issue. [3]
