On the song "Johnny College", Hay addresses the University of Louisville basketball scandal. Hay was quoted as saying to CBS Sports, “To see Louisville get tarnished by a sex scandal is so disgusting and it breaks my heart, and that’s what inspired Johnny College."
"Don't Close Your Eyes" was the first single from the album and features Kxng Crooked of Slaughterhouse from Eminem's Shady Records. The song starts out with a voicemail to Hay from his biological mother Pamela Nicely. The song is about struggling with suicide thoughts and alcohol abuse. Kxng Crooked was quoted as saying to MTV News, “I’ve been in several dark places in my life, betrayed by those closest to me or feelings of hopelessness in situations I can’t control or even others trying to remove me from this earth. It takes its toll.”
