Consisting of 13 songs, the album includes five previously released singles titled "Fractures", "Feel Good", "Sound of Walking Away", "Crawl Outta Love" and "Leaving". Illenium played the 12th track "Beautiful Creatures" at the Hakkasan Nightclub. He also announced the Awake tour, in which he would perform in November and December. He announced the release date of the album on August 8, 2017, in one of his internet online fan communities one day after releasing the final single from the album. He posted with the caption "Album release getting ANNOUNCED with crawl Monday. Pre order avail next week." Illenium spoke about the album's comparison to his previous one, he said "A lot of strong vocals and melodies but more recorded elements than Ashes.
