Background and composition

Sleepless showcases the group with a new direction of their sound with some roots of their early "emo" sounding vocals according to member David Schmitt. Speaking about the process of putting the EP together, Schmitt said, "the process was a bit different as we worked with so many different artist. In the dance world it’s special because collaborating and sharing ideas isn’t as rare as say a 'rock or warped' type of world so it was different and a lot of fun."[2] The EP features a melodically driven sound, taking advantage of current dance music trends to deliver mainstream friendly productions.[3]
