I put a lot of love into this project and couldn’t be more excited for fans to hear the new music".[2] He also added that "Summer Forever for [him] represents a positive, happy, good time lifestyle and that’s what [he] hope[s] the fans feel when they hear the record".[3] "Don't It" was released on October 27, 2014 as the album's lead off single.
