Background
Lapointe told Apple Music that he wanted to "recreate the concept of a campfire" and make an album that was "a bit softer, with no piano, just string instruments, some percussion—but not that much". He also called the album a "collection of lullabies for kids who have grown up".[4] The album was also considered to be one that sounds as if it does not belong to a particular period of time.[2]
