Production was done by Bouchelle, along with Stephen DeAcutis (Corey Glover, Cyndi Lauper), Hal B. Selzer (Joan Jett & The Blackhearts), Ed Stasium (Pretenders, Talking Heads), and Earl Cohen (Lady Gaga).

Bouchelle’s previous EP release, Lipstick Tomboy, garnered several million streams and hundreds of thousands of YouTube views. It received airplay on notable Triple A radio stations such as WXPN in Philadelphia, KCSN in Los Angeles, WFUV in New York, and WBJB in New Jersey, as well as on SiriusXM, and was awarded the Disc of The Day prize by legendary MusicRow columnist and tastemaker Robert Oermann.
