The group commented:

“‘I Hope I Die Here’ is a love letter to Alabama and the Southeastern experience. It is an acknowledgment of suffering, and a proclamation of strength. This record is conceptually driven and more musically diverse than our previous EPs, on purpose. There is a distinct reason for each song to exist. We approach many topics, including what it’s like to grow up under the boot of religion, fraternity culture, the dark side of a beloved landmark, local ecological exploitation, and more. We do not believe the world needs any more songs about how craaaaaazyyy of a guy you are, how much you hate your town, or how your ex was such a *checks notes* bitch for breaking up with you because you cheated on her.”

A video for the EP’s first single, “Don’t Need Your Help” (feat. Jesse Clark of Wielded Steel and Nick Chance of Beautiful Child of God), can be found below. Vocalist Blaythe Steuer added the following about that track:

“‘Don’t Need Your Help’ is about my touring experience throughout the country, and learning that many people still view the Southeast through a lens of negativity. The meaning behind the song is broad, in the sense that it certainly acknowledges the painful past of the region. But it also makes clear that it doesn’t help anyone to continue shitting on the current people here that only want to make it a better place for everyone.

It was critically important to me to have two of my closest friends sing on this song. The first being Nick Chance (Beautiful Child of God), and also Jesse Clark (Wielded Steel). Both of them have shared these kinds of experiences as well. Overall, it is an extremely overstimulating and hard-hitting track, and I can’t wait to rip it live.”
