The first song was titled "Take" on the promo version of the album. It was renamed "Forward" just before the album was released.[citation needed]
The song "Blame" uses a sample from the song "Illusion", composed by the Japanese group Geinoh Yamashirogumi for the highly influential 1988 anime movie Akira.[citation needed]
