Regarding the album, guitarist and vocalist Chris DeMakes said: "See the Light is pure Less Than Jake. 13 songs that were written, recorded and produced in our hometown of Gainesville, Florida. You never know what people are going to think when you release new music. All you can do is what comes from your heart and we feel like we have accomplished what we set out to do with these new songs. Hopefully our fans will feel the same passion for this album as we do." Bassist and vocalist Roger Lima added: "[this album]'s all new songs and new vibes, only recorded in our old school way."

Drummer and songwriter Vinnie Fiorello called the lyrics "super-positive". He also ranked it his favorite Less Than Jake album because it was their first album in a long time with no input from outside the band. They produced and wrote it all by themselves. He also says the band applied every lesson it learned in previous albums.

Lima reverberated that, stating it was a "back to basics" album because they did not have any kind of orientation when they started. He also described the artwork:

The album release was supported by a North American tour, and the band is also planning some shows in Canada, Southeastern United States, Japan, Brazil and the United Kingdom. "Do the Math" was released to radio on June 2, 2014, and released as a single on June 10 with "Connect the Dots" as the B-side. "American Idle" was released as a single, with "Late Night Petroleum" as the B-side, on January 20, 2015.
