The album was originally supposed to be called Invinsible and was due out in 2011. A corresponding single entitled Invisible was released on August 9, 2011 and reached number 86 in the German charts. Skylar Gray, however, discarded some of the songs that had already been recorded, changed the album title and concept and postponed the release of the sound carrier.

production

Skylar Grey's label boss Alex da Kid and rapper Eminem acted as executive producers for Don't Look Down . In addition, some beats were produced by JR Rotem , Jayson DeZuzio, Ill Factor, Mike Del Rio and Skylar Gray.

Cover design

The album cover shows Skylar Gray standing in a kitchen with his back turned to the viewer. She supports herself with her hands on the stove and dishwasher and looks down. A blood-smeared ax lies in front of her.
