Rutledge has acknowledged that while he usually writes songs from a fictional perspective rather than writing about his own life, the album's title track is a love song to his wife, designer and HGTV host Sarah Keenleyside, whom he married in 2018.[1] The album features a songwriting collaboration with novelist Michael Ondaatje, with whom he first collaborated on his 2010 album The Early Widows, on the song "Boats",[1] and includes guitar contributions by former Tragically Hip guitarist Rob Baker.[1]

"Good Man" was released in March as the album's first preview single.[2]
