Content
Prior to releasing his debut album, Moon worked as a songwriter for various country music artists, including Zac Brown Band and Dierks Bentley. He also recorded with the former's Zac Brown in the electronic dance music trio Sir Rosevelt.[1]
Moon released "Good Time" as his debut single in 2020, and the song reached the top of Billboard Hot Country Songs and Country Airplay charts in 2021.[2][3] He wrote all but one of the album's songs with his wife, Anna, and Joshua Murty, with whom he also produced the album.[1] The final track, and the only one which the Moons did not co-write, is a cover of Travis Tritt's 2001 single "It's a Great Day to Be Alive".[4]

Critical reception
Michael Rampa of Country Standard Time gave the album a mixed review, stating that "It is not as if the material is poorly written or the melodies displeasing, given Moon's expectations of positivity but it feels like these songs would fare better in the hands of a jam band outfit like Zac Brown Band that would certainly make it sound more country. But that was not what Moon was going for anyway."[5]
