Since he tried contemporary rock, it made sense that the pendulum would swing back and he would take a stab at contemporary soul.

In an interview with Wonderland, Macdonald said, "It's an album about life and the ups and downs that come with it. It's never easy for anyone and I don't think we give ourselves enough credit sometimes. We're just expected to constantly be going 100mph all the time and that can be demanding for anyone…"
