In the first single, Best Days, Colton sings, "It's a winding road/it's a long way home.” His explanation? "I think that is what the last four years have been in my life, with touring the country and playing everywhere from bars to clubs to theaters to arenas. It was all a great dress rehearsal because I feel like it took that time - and it took those relationships whether they were with girlfriends, band members or meeting other bands on the road - to really find their way into these new songs. They just kind of lived in my suitcase as I was traveling the country, writing the songs, working with people, learning new things and listening to new music. Then it just kind of dwindled down to what I thought were the most honest and pure songs that I have ever written."
