Background
Inspiration behind Breathe Carolina releasing a full-length studio album came about from the completion of the album’s first single, "Too Good".[3][4] "It ignited a spark in us," producer and member Tom Cooperman says, "the energy we both felt with this record was undeniable and there was this palpable enthusiasm in the studio. We very quickly came to the decision that we needed to make an entire album that had the feeling and mood of this first song." Singer and producer David Schmitt said it "felt like a breath of fresh air and a vibe we haven’t heard come from anyone".
