The album saw the duo team up with long-term collaborators Ant Whiting and Norman Cook, aka Fatboy Slim, who both appeared as producers on the duo's first album Stereo Typical, as well as songwriter Jamie Cullum co-writing two tracks on the album, and lending guest vocals to one. Pete Cannon produced the album's opening 2 tracks. An exclusive super-deluxe edition, featuring a signed poster, AAA lanyard and Rizzle Kicks pendant, is available exclusively from the Rizzle Kicks online store.

The duo revealed on 9 July 2013 that they were forced to call in libel lawyers to take a look through the lyrics of "Lost Generation", as they feared legal action after name-checking both Chelsea FC footballer John Terry and television personality Jeremy Kyle in the song. [2]
