Background
AJR released two extended plays after their debut single "I'm Ready":[2] 6foot1 (2013),[3] and Infinity (2014).[4] These were in promotion of their debut studio album, Living Room (2015).[5] While creating these releases, the band focused on producing songs before writing lyrics around them. AJR chose to adapt a different style for later work, prioritizng lyricism before composing its instrumental.[6] The band additionally wrote songs for a potential second album during Living Room's creative process, leaving the tracks off their debut with the intention of a different sound.[7] One of these was "Let the Games Begin", which released later in the year as a standalone single.[8] A second single followed on December 18 as "Call My Dad".[9]
