Background

Speaking about the album, Phora said "I feel like all types of music definitely helps people, but music that specifically and especially covers topics such as suicide — and that can be a very touchy topic — but songs that cover suicide, depression, family issues, even abuse, things like that, I feel like that’s very important, most of all to make people not feel like they’re alone." [4] The album contains 16 songs, [5] [6] announced by Phora. [7] Phora stated he wanted the album to connect with the fans and want them to listen to it and be able to relate. [8] [9]
