Content matter includes "love, heartbreak, lust and his struggles with God and everything around him." Front Porch Step released "Island of the Misfit Boy," on YouTube, in early July 2012, gaining popularity after receiving significant attention on reddit. McElfresh proceeded to record the song and released a studio version of the aforementioned track, which was released via the Front Porch Step bandcamp in early August 2012.
