Background and composition
The album was produced by Irwin with John Feldmann and Matthew Pauling. "Straight To Your Heart" was the first song written for the record and defined the sound of the rest of it, also influenced by classic rock tracks like "Lips Like Sugar", "Bigmouth Strikes Again", and "(Don't Fear) The Reaper". The title is “a metaphor for how much I’ve given to my music.” Lyrically, the album looks outward reflecting on Irwin's personal life and universal themes.
