On December 13, 2008, it was announced on their blog that their full-length album would be out on December 23, 2008.[1][2] The album title is taken from the lyrics of the first track "Breakout."

| AllMusic |    [3] |
Tim Sendra of AllMusic gave a rating of 3.5 stars, saying that "if you want a quick and most likely short-lived blast of pop nonsense, the album is pretty brilliant." He states, "the band's one perfect moment, 'Party in Your Bedroom,' it's awesome." Although also remarking that the rest of the album does not live up to the song, he ends off by saying, "Cash Cash are unabashedly pop and that's nothing to be ashamed of when you do it as well as they do here."[3]
