All Time Low released their debut album The Party Scene in July 2005 through the independent label Emerald Moon Records. In December, it was announced that the band was no longer signed, but attracted the attention of a number of record labels. In late 2006, the band performed a showcase for John Janick the founder of the record label Fueled by Ramen. They were not signed because Cute Is What We Aim For was recently taken up by the label, which was not in a position to sign another band at the time. On March 28, 2006, it was announced that All Time Low had signed a contract with Hopeless Records. The band was brought to the attention of the label by fellow band tour Amber Pacific. After high school graduation, the members focus on the full-time group, and release the Put Up or Shut Up EP in July.
Vocalist/guitarist Alex Gaskarth said the EP helped the band get new fans, while at the same time allowing them to progress in music. Gaskarth also said that the group did not want to "feel pressured or in a hurry" to make the album. Choosing to release EP instead "makes the most sense to what extent we are and what we want to do". To support his release, the group appeared on a number of tour dates and toured with Amber Pacific. Gaskarth revealed the band aims to enter the recording studio in winter. In December, the group performed a number of performances. On one of these, they played three new songs: "Let It Roll", "Dear Mary, Count Me In" and "Remembering Sunday".

Composition and recording
In January 2007, the band said they had made 12 songs for their second album. Around this time, the group demonstrates several songs for Paul Leavitt. The band began recording on April 17, 2007, with producers Matt Squire and Leavitt at SOMD Studios in Beltsville, Maryland. The group previously worked with Leavitt on The Party Scene (2005) and Put Up or Shut Up EP. According to studio updates posted on April 20, guitarist Jack Barakat revealed the band in pre-production. The group listened to the demos they had previously recorded, choosing and choosing which songs they would work on, as well as the parts of other songs they wanted to keep. Gaskarth said the band went into the studio with about 15 songs, before the numbers were trimmed to three. They then wrote a lot of material in the studio.
In another studio update posted on April 27, Barakat mentioned they had narrowed down the songs that would make the album. Gaskarth said the group needed to write more songs, which resulted in the creation of five additional songs. One of these songs is "Come One, Come All", a song that Gaskarth strongly dislikes in retrospect. Barakat, who shares Gaskarth's view of the song, adds that other songs of the same time will work better in the notes. Barakat mentioned 11 will be on the album, and that they potentially add "... [song] else here or there if everything goes as planned". Barakat said the band members "feel that... we have grown up as a musician," with the help of Squire and Leavitt. Squire teamed up with Gaskarth in creating the melody, while Leavitt worked with drummer Rian Dawson creating, as Barakat described them, "beats drum beastly".
Barakat mentioned that the drum and bass parts were "fairly straight forward and fast" because Dawson and bassist Zack Merrick were "solid" on their respective instruments. While bass is being recorded, Squire works with Gaskarth on vocals. Squire and Leavitt engineered the recording, while Squire mixed it up. Ted Jensen mastered the recording in Sterling Sound. All songs on the album are written by All Time Low with lyrics by Gaskarth. Sam Hollander and Dave Katz provide additional writing and lyrics on "Holly (Would You Turn Me On?)".

In a brief review, AllMusic says that the band provides a "sharp and sensitive set of tones". It also mentions that the group combines "sincerity-on-arm without using histrionic emo".

"Approximately half way into the album, he said the band" managed to remove all the captivating qualities left of the genre. Is this really what pop-punk is now? Because if yes, you can count me. "
