Background and promotion
In a press release for promoting the album, duo member Dan Smyers said: "Some of our records have been more pop- or hip-hop/R&B-infused. But on this record, I wanted to make tracks that we could hop up at any bar anywhere with our live band and play the songs as they were recorded. Ultimately, this music, this whole album, is something that I'll be able to look back on in a decade or two and be really proud of the way it turned out".[1] Dan + Shay announced the album and its release date on July 14, 2023, along with the lead single, "Save Me the Trouble", and three promotional singles: "Heartbreak on the Map", "Always Gonna Be", and the title track; all songs were released alongside official music videos.[2][3] The fourth and final promotional single, "We Should Get Married", was released on August 25, 2023.[4]
