Wake Up, Sunshine

The album comes after 2017's Last Young Renegade. In January 2019, the band began creating the record in drummer Rian Dawson's home studio in Nashville, Tennessee with Zakk Cervini and Andrew Goldstein.[3] A majority of the writing and recording process took place in August 2019 at a mansion located in Palm Desert, California, (usually referred to by the band as the "marble mansion") that the band rented and lived in for a few months along with most of the team that worked on Wake Up, Sunshine.[4][5] To finish the album, All Time Low members Alex Gaskarth and Jack Barakat rented a cabin with Cervini and Goldstein in Big Bear Lake, California.[3][1]

The album’s overall sound has been described as pop-punk[6] by critics.

The album received positive reviews from critics, with some noting it as a nostalgic culmination of the band’s previous works.[8] In a positive review, Emily Carter of Kerrang! called it "dreamy", "nostalgic", and "sentimental".[7] AllMusic reviewer Neil Z. Yeung praised the album for paying homage to pop punk predecessors such as Yellowcard, Fall Out Boy, Lit, and Blink-182, while praising the album's blend of the band's modern style and their past pop-punk music, mentioning the presence of "catchy hooks, bright energy, and . . . the style that won All Time Low a legion of devoted scene fans."[10]
