Background

According to Chris Daughtry, the album is "more upbeat and positive lyrically" and also stated that the album sounds "nothing like the previous two".[14] Chris Daughtry wrote all of the songs with band guitarists Josh Steely and Brian Craddock, bassist Josh Paul, and in collaboration with Marti Frederiksen, Busbee and Brett James.[15] The album was produced by Howard Benson, who also produced their previous two albums.

Prior to the album's release, during the month of November, the tracks "Renegade", "Louder Than Ever" and "Outta My Head" were used by ESPN during some of their programming broadcasts.[16]
