"Break Up in the End" is the album's lead single. It has charted on both the US Billboard Hot Country Songs and Country Airplay charts in advance of the album's release.

The album features twelve songs in total, of which Swindell co-wrote five.[1] Two other cuts, "Somebody's Been Drinkin'" and "The Ones Who Got Me Here", were also released digitally in advance of the album.[2] He will also tour on the headlining All of It Tour, which begins in St. Louis, Missouri on the day of the album's release.[3]

Of the album's title track, Swindell told the website Sounds Like Nashville that the song was chosen as the title track "because I think the album is full of every topic we could touch on."[4]
