Background and composition

Tyler Hubbard told Entertainment Tonight: "We've been working on that album for over a year now, so BK and I are definitely ready."^[4] On the sound of the album, he remarked: "A lot of the music is just kind of a throwback -- an FGL take on kind of what we grew up on, '90s country. It's a well-rounded album. We got stuff we wrote and recorded just for the live show. We got some collaborations with Jason Derulo, Jason Aldean. So, there's a little bit of everything."
