"The COVID-19 pandemic marked a dark period in his life, as it did for many people. This project became an outlet to share those feelings and an opportunity to connect deeper with his audience."

 — Piper, on the release.[3]

McCartney self described this release as "a collection of songs I've been working on over the last year." and admitted his admiration to old school '70s pop as his inspiration.[3] Though much like his previous release, he cites his wife as a key influence as he continues entering new stages in his life.[4]
