Background

[edit]

Speaking about the album, Phora said "I feel like all types of music definitely helps people, but music that specifically and especially covers topics such as suicide — and that can be a very touchy topic — but songs that cover suicide, depression, family issues, even abuse, things like that, I feel like that’s very important, most of all to make people not feel like they’re alone."[4] The album contains 16 songs,[5][6] announced by Phora.[7] Phora stated he wanted the album to connect with the fans and want them to listen to it and be able to relate.[8][9]
