In a lot of ways, this album was about growth and a return home to why I even do this in the first place."
Personal Life
Bazzi met Instagram model Renee Herbert in late 2017, and they began a relationship a few months later. Bazzi wrote the songs "I.F.L.Y." and "Renee's Song" for her.

I made the song a year and a half ago, when all the emotion was pure and raw, and putting it out today is interesting because a lot of the emotions have changed." Bazzi has been open about struggling with substance abuse and his mental health during the COVID-19 pandemic, and in September 2020, he tweeted, "i've let a drug problem get out of hand, i've been drinking my boredom away, i've had no sense of structure or anything to work or live towards. i feel myself becoming so bitter towards a world that i once loved so much & i hate it. that bitterness has caused me to distance myself away from everyone. it's caused me to want to burn bridges so i can be alone in my understanding & i'm exhausted."
