Background

It is their first full-length recording since their 2007 release, How You Live. It is also their first full-length release since the June 2008 departure of Heather Payne reduced the group to a trio. The album was produced by Nathan Chapman, who has achieved success due to his work with country singer Taylor Swift. The album features a more country-oriented sound, due to the group's growing acceptance within the country music market.

The album's lead single, "Come to Jesus", was released on February 2, 2010. The track "The Greatest Show On Earth" was written by the group along with Cindy Morgan and Julie Adkison. The track "A Good Place to Turn Around" was originally recorded by country singer Kayla King.
