Speaking about the album, Naggar stated, {{Quotation|This record isn't one singular statement, it documents a period of growth. The songs were written mainly over two years and they all reflect potent moments from that time. While it's obviously personal and based off of my own experience, I want this album to feel familiar – life gets complicated as we grow, people form relationships to each other, they lose things, they discover pain, fear, self-delusion; sometimes it's funny, sometimes it's weird, often it sucks—and we have to navigate our way through all of that.}}
