Recording and production

Orianthi and Sambora recorded the album over two years, mostly in their Los Angeles home. The album was produced by Bob Rock (Mötley Crüe, Metallica, Bon Jovi). Sambora and Orianthi explore a wide variety of genres on the album, including rock, blues, pop, R&B and country. The album gathers together all of the duo's previously-released singles and the 2017 EPs, Rise and Making History, along with more new tracks.[1]

The duo originally released the single "Masterpiece", which premiered on Billboard on September 28, 2017[2] and in December 2017 they released "Walk With Me"[3] and the holiday single "One Night of Peace".[4]

In February 2018, Sambora and Orianthi released dual singles for Valentine's Day putting their spin on the Sonny & Cher song "I Got You Babe", and they also debuted a brand new RSO original "Forever All the Way".[5]
