It differed from the band's debut album, Can't Slow Down, by having a lighter acoustic sound.

Background and recording

edit

Saves the Day formed in late 1997. Their debut album, Can't Slow Down, was released with Equal Vision in August 1998.[2] The album helped the band gain fans, but only in the New Jersey area.[3] The band promoted the album with two tours, which helped the band expand their fan base.[2] Saves the Day had three different line-up changes while touring Can't Slow Down, leaving vocalist Chris Conley and drummer Bryan Newman as the only original members left.[4]

I'm Sorry I'm Leaving was recorded and mixed at Shoulder to the Wheel Studio in March 1999.[5] The EP was mastered by M.J.R. at Metropolis Mastering Ltd.[5]
