Background

In July 2013, it was reported that Lambert had left his record label of five years, RCA Records, due to "creative differences" and the label allegedly pushing him to record an album composed of cover songs from the 1980's.[1][2] The day after his announcement, Lambert was contacted by Warner Bros. Records.[3] A deal with the label was confirmed by Billboard in January 2015, along with news that his upcoming album would be executive produced by Max Martin and Shellback and was scheduled for release in the summer of 2015.[4] Songwriting for the album began in early 2014, with recording taking place between 2014 and 2015 in the producers' native Sweden.[3]

Lambert first revealed the album title on social media on January 29, 2015, also his birthday.[5] In March 2015, he unveiled additional details regarding the musical direction of the album in an interview with Hunger TV magazine.[6] Describing the style of the album as less "campy" and theatrical than his previous material, Lambert also identified the album's genre as "definitely pop but not bubblegum."[6][7]
