"I do, August 18," said an excited Maia Sharp. "Reckless Thoughts" is the name of it. Reckless thoughts is a line from one of the songs. "California" is the song and it's "Reckless thoughts and broken hearts collide."

I feel like songwriting sometimes is just a series of reckless thoughts (laughs); you know? You kind of want to let your brain be free and go somewhere that feels a little dangerous to find the next idea. So, the reckless thought isn't always a bad thing and it felt like the double meaning of that could be worthy of the album title"
