Some songs appearing on the album were written in the years between Fastball albums. A version of "Secret Agent Love" was produced by Adam Schlesinger, but was re-recorded for the album.[8] Initial recording sessions started in February 2015[9] at the Bubble[10] in Austin, Texas.

"Love Comes in Waves" was recorded and issued as a single in 2015.
