== Background and release== Kristen May stated about making the record: "When we started writing this record, we had a common hardship. Their singer had quit, and my previous band had broken up. As writers, we weren't really sure how to move forward. At the same time, we all had this shared feeling of hope and a second chance. Music came out of those experiences from coming together and persevering through whatever doubts and trials we faced in our lives. It felt like home once we began making music." She also stated: "I hope it's an album people can listen to for years to come. We put our hearts and souls into it, and I want them to hear that."<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.blabbermouth.net/news/flyleafs-kristen-may-we-put-our-hearts-and-souls-into-new-album-between-the-stars/|title=Flyleaf's Kristen May: 'We Put Our Hearts And Souls' Into New Album 'Between The Stars' - Blabbermouth.net|work=BLABBERMOUTH.NET|accessdate=October 20, 2014}}</ref>
