With an explorative sound world, the album travels through various styles, working to the advantage of Lavelle's eclectic musical background. The record touches on genres such as alternative rock, soft rock, folk and synth-pop, and creates anthems and ballads in these styles. On 'Summer Daze', the album's first single, Lavelle nostalgically reflects upon life with a previous lover. He says, "Summer Daze was one of those songs, you know. There are songs that I’ve spent months [...] years writing and editing. That whole song happened in about half an hour. It was one of those times that everything kind of clicked. It was the summertime, three years ago." Lavelle began piano lessons as a child, and his passion for music and song-writing soon followed. He reveals, "My first album and gig was Green Day’s ‘American Idiot’. I suppose one could say that was where the magic began! It’s still my fave album. I’ve always been enchanted by it." This conceptually ambitious album has inspired Lavelle in the way it follows a consistent narrative from start to finish.
