Background In a 2017 interview, Ruth B. stated: "I have put the last couple years of my life into this album. My memories and stories all make appearances in the melodies and hooks. My greatest hope is that these songs will resonate with listeners and find homes in their hearts". With producer Joel Little, she began recording the album in 2016 after the success of her debut EP. Little remarked that he became interested in working with Ruth B. after an acquaintance sent him some of her songs.
