The band had ideas to start work on a debut album after changing their name from Extra Large Kids to Design the Skyline. Initially the members set plans to release a full-length titled, Synthetic Cities which even had its own artwork completed along with many of its songs recorded and planned but were never fully finished or mastered. The project was abandoned. The reason for this was due to the band aspiring to pursue a completely different and more "mature" sound than what they had originally interpreted after their signing to Victory in May.[4]
Nevaeh was then written and recorded by the course of May through July of 2011. The album spawned two singles; "Break Free from Your Life" and "Cybernetic Strawflower" before its release.[5]
