Background

The album was described as both Mraz's "return to pop" and as containing "dance and disco influences", which Mraz called the integration of a "conscious effort" as he had "not yet done". Mraz elaborated, "I wanted to try to get a little more into the dance lane, because I haven’t experienced that before. I wanted to try something new."
