On creating of the album, lovelytheband vocalist Mitchy Collins shares, "We found ourselves being drawn to songs that all shared a common thread of honesty. The lyrics are literal and expose more of our truth than ever before. It was an incredibly challenging and rewarding experience. We weren't only writing music infused with moments of introspection; we put our deepest fears, doubts, and confessions into every line and every melody.
The creative process of this record has set into motion a much welcomed inertia of healing. Jordan, Sam, and myself don't wear our struggles the same way. But they eat at us all. We encourage everyone to share more... and if we're being honest, it feels good to feel good again."
In conjunction with the album release, lovelytheband will embark on their headlining if we're being honest tour on June 6th with special guest Beach Weather. Tickets will be available via Spotify presale from Wednesday, February 1st at 10 AM local through Thursday, February 2nd
10 PM local. The artist presale will take place from Thursday, February 2nd at 10 AM local time through 10 PM local time. Tickets will be available to the public Friday, February 3rd at 10 AM local time.
lovelytheband achieved massive success with their debut single "broken", spending nine weeks at number one on Billboard's Alternative Songs chart. The double-platinum selling track remained on the chart for seventy six weeks, the longest running entry at the time. Since its release, the music video has surpassed 44M views on YouTube and 500M global streams. The single appeared on the band's debut album Finding It Hard To Smile which was released in 2018.
