On July 9, 2015, the band launched a PledgeMusic campaign for its comeback album.[2] On July 23, 2015, the band played its comeback show at the Alternate Press Awards, which featured former lead guitarist Dave Baksh, joining them on stage nine years after officially leaving the band. The band's set also featured DMC as a guest. Since the performance, rumors speculated that Dave had returned to the band rather than being just a guest. On August 14, 2015, Sum 41 announced through Alternative Press that Baksh officially returned to the group and will appear on the upcoming album.

In an interview on February 7, 2014, Deryck revealed that the band has possibly found a new drummer and would be premiering new music "soon".[9] The expected sixth album would have been the band's first with Whibley and McCaslin as the only two band members from the group's original release left, until Baksh's return in 2015, which will also be his first album with band since 2004's "Chuck". The album will also be the band's first without founding drummer Steve Jocz, and the first to feature drummer Frank Zummo.
