The album is Young's second album released under the
Big Machine label. Young co-wrote ten of the album's thirteen tracks. The album was produced by
Dann Huff, with engineer Justin Niebank and executive producer Jimmy Harnen. Collaborators on the album include
Gavin DeGraw,
Ashley Gorley,
Shane McAnally,
Hillary Lindsey,
Charles Kelley and
Ross Copperman.[1] The first song written for the album is "Used to Missin' You" he co-wrote with
Jimmy Robbins and
Jon Nite, which was intended for his previous album Brett Young.[2] He wrote "Chapters" with Gavin Degraw, who wanted the song to be about Young's story. This album has a lighter feel than the previous album, although it ended with a sombre ballad "Don't Wanna Write This Song", which is intended to mirror "
Mercy" of that album.[3]
