Background

In an interview with Distorted Sound, Reddick stated "'Lunch. Drunk. Love.' people refer to as my divorce record and it was pretty angry, and there’s just a lot of emotions on there that you’re not used to hearing from Bowling For Soup."[4]

Production and recording

Within 48 hours, 500 pledges were received[5] and in less than 7 days Reddick announced "Dude, you guys killed it...In less than 7 days, you guys made this all happen!!! Could not be happier, and more excited..."[6] As the goal was reached Reddick gave pledgers a video of an early acoustic version of the song "Since We Broke Up". Chandler finished recording bass on May 10, 2013. It was announced that on day 10 in the recording studio the drums are done. Tracking and recording at the Daycare was officially wrapped up in May and that the songs will be sent to mixing. On June 11, 2013, pledgers received an update regarding the album's title and that they would get to vote on what the album should be named. The band released the official title and cover for the new album on June 20, and the album was sent to be mastered on July 15. More artwork was released in August along with lyric videos for "Envy", "Rooftops", "Real", and "Right About Now", as well as videos for "I am Waking Up Today", "Since We Broke Up", and Circle" releasing throughout September.
