Frontman Jim Ward commented:

“This is a love record. I want it to leave an impression, and at this point in my career, that’s what I yearn for. I’m working so hard to make something meaningful to me, and I really want people to get a chance to feel it as well.”

Iero added:

“I’ve been a fan of Jim Ward’s songwriting and guitar playing for more than half my life. started by going to see At the Drive-In play at Masonic lodges and VFW halls in my teens, to booking an opening spot with MCR on an ill-fated show opening for Sparta at the Birch Hill Nightclub in NJ in my 20s — this show was cancelled day of due to an exploding frozen pipe and no one played. Cut to now being asked to write some songs with him for the newest Sparta record in my 40s…”
