The album is preceded by the lead single, "Not Your Birthday", released on March 22, 2011. The album's second single, "Blame It on September" was released on August 16, 2011.

There has been some controversy surrounding the song "Not Your Birthday", because that song had profanity parents considered inappropriate for young listeners, especially for a group endorsed by Disney Channel. Despite this, the album was released without a Parental Advisory sticker.[2] Also, because Radio Disney had released a clean version of the single, that replaces the explicit lyrics and lyrics that mention drinking, especially during Anth's rap.

The album debuted at #49 on the Top Billboard 200 Chart in the US, and #71 in Canada.
