“I'm glad the snapshots held within this album tell a little more of my story," Chase said about the album produced by Jon Randall at Austin's famed Arlyn Studios. "I'm excited for the next steps. And, yeah, I'm excited to see what the world thinks about it."

"I knew I wanted to make a fun record, a great record," he continued. "To make this record, I analyzed the best days of those awful years. It's like, 'listen to these 12 songs and you will hear about the 12 best days I had,' you know what I mean?"

Chase added that he's "constantly in a period of change."
