==Concept==
T-Pain has described the album's theme by comparing the music industry to a [[circus]]. He has extended this concept with his album and single covers, tailored to resemble carnival flyers, as well as with his music videos and style of dress. Most significantly, at the 2008 Bet Awards, where he wore a flamboyant, silver and black, designer circus-ringleader outfit with a matching [[top hat]] and the [[MTV Video Music Awards|MTV 2008 Video Music Awards]], where he won #1 Best Entrance by arriving on an [[elephant]].

==History==
The album was originally set to be released on September 30, the same day as his birthday, but it was changed because of controversy towards Silver & Gold.<ref name=silver&goldmtv>[http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1593663/20080827/t_pain.jhtml T-Pain Gets Some Heat For Turning Gospel Song Into 'Alcoholic Anthem'.] Accessed August 28, 2008.</ref> However, the album as well as its deluxe edition is now set to be released on November 11, 2008<ref name=kanyevma>[http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1594485/20080909/t_pain.jhtml Kanye West Calls VMA Show-Closer 'Love Lockdown' His 'Favorite Song 2 Date'.] ''MTV.com.''
