Aoki spoke about the challenge he faced producing during the coronavirus pandemic and the album's inspiration in a Billboard Live interview. "We're stuck here, so...we turned it into a fun interaction. I'm doing the Instagram Lives; I'm forcing myself to work out every single day. It's actually been really, really great," he said. "I've done a 15-day boot camp challenge where I work out and drop a brand-new song from the album, and it gets the conversation going around all this new music that no one's heard," he added.
