Background

The recording is a loosely based concept album about love and crushes, featuring an album cover that resembles artwork from the Sweet Valley High young adult book series. This theme is further demonstrated within the rest of the albums' layout. The tracks are listed as a table of contents with song lyrics broken up into chapters, while photos of the band appear under a "About the Authors" section, with a short biography on each member. The albums' back cover features a brief synopsis of a fictitious story, that includes the song titles in their playing order within the text:
