Background

The album was announced on October 12, 2018. Lucas has stated that his childhood diagnosis with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder was the inspiration for the album.

When I was a kid I was diagnosed with 'ADHD'.. they said I was aggressive, fidgety, hyperactive, impulsive, etc... they tried to put me on meds. Everyone around me including my own parents made me feel like I wasn’t normal. I had to constantly see a doctor who made me take tests and all that. They separated me from the regular kids in school and put me in these classes away from everyone [...] Creating music was and always has been my only therapy. It’s the only way I ever knew how to express myself. I was tired of being cut off every time I spoke or had an opinion.. I figured if I made music then you would have no choice but to listen to me and hear me out [...] The kid with 'ADHD' did it.

Lucas released the album's lead single, "I Love", on October 17, 2018. He continued to release singles from the album throughout 2019 and 2020. He unveiled the album's track listing on March 24, 2020.
