Background

Musso worked with Sam Hollander, Dave Katz, Bryan Todd, Justin Gray, Curt Schneider, Matthew Wilder, and other producers and songwriters to produce the album in both Los Angeles and New York.

The two are a duet featuring singer Katelyn Tarver [4] and Musso's brother Mason Musso [5] respectively. Musso stated: "But actually my favorite song off my album is a duet, "Us Against the World" and it's my favorite song. I feel like it's got the most uh, it's kind of a dark vibe but at the same time it's a really upbeat like uh, I would say a happy song. And I think the girls voice, her name's Katelyn Tarver, so it was awesome getting her on the track."
