  • In the song "Naked Peekaboo" done with members from Gym Class Heroes, in the background a voice whispers "Santi" in some parts.
  • William Beckett lost his lyric book for the album on a plane ride (as described in LAX to O'Hare) and was forced to write impromptu lyrics two days before the recording of Santi. [2]
