Houser produced the album with singer-songwriter Keith Gattis. Of its content, he told Taste of Country that "When writing for this new project, I knew the production had to lean on songs and melodies, not a bunch of tricks and loops. That was the catalyst for the album. So, for the past two years we’ve been focused on trying to find a unique sound and trying to best serve the songs."[2]
