Background
editThe band consider the album to be a sequel to their self-titled debut album, released in 2008, as both were "written and recorded following traumatic personal events" for lead singer Danny O'Donoghue, whose parents both died ten years apart. O'Donoghue called the album the "most poignant record we've ever made", and said "Our music was always about being together with the audience, and writing about your own feelings, and sharing them."[5]
