A Skylit Drive commented on the label deal:

“Signing with Vaux Records feels like the perfect next step for us. [Founder] Craig [Ericson] understands our history, our vision, and where we’re headed. ‘Half Hearted’ is the beginning of an exciting new era, and we can’t wait for everyone to hear what’s coming next.”

Craig Ericson added

“A Skylit Drive has built a lasting legacy in the alternative music scene, and we’re excited to welcome them to the Vaux Records family. The new material is powerful, authentic, and showcases exactly why this band continues to resonate with fans around the world.”

Vocalist Michael Jagmin also discussed the single:

“‘Half Hearted’ quickly became a defining song for this album. It marked the beginning of working with co-writer and producer Ryan Furlott and opened the door to a side of ourselves musically that we hadn’t explored before. More than anything, writing it was deeply cathartic. It became one of those rare moments where creating music felt less like writing a song and more like confronting something within ourselves—and putting it into words.”
