In an August 2018 interview with Stereogum , Everlast stated, regarding referencing his former group House of Pain in the album title, "I don’t plan them out too much. Especially album titles, they just kind of happen. That one is again trying to figure out what the record was, it’s just kind of like to me it just represents everything I’ve ever done." Later in the interview, when asked about House of Pain last touring in 2017, he stated "We brought it back a couple times for fun and it's just... it's just done. I can't do it anymore [...] We’ve only gotten together twice in the last 15 years and that was for the 20th anniversary and then for the 25th anniversary. And I don’t think I’m doing it for the 30th anniversary. I’m done." [2] He also explained: "Another reason I called the album [Whitey Ford's House Of Pain] is because it's kind of a way [to] say, 'this is all that's left'". [2]
