Background
After finishing recording the unreleased album Starting Today, Nina Sky had a lot of fights with their label Polo Grounds over the release of the album. These were their tweets for Bryan Leach: "Starting a new campaign today... 'Nina Sky Doesn't Play Polo. For months we've had complete album, ready for release. Y'all wanna know what's relly goin' on? Nothing [and] that's the problem. We released [two] videos and singles without support from our label. All good... Stayed positive. After months of no movement, we asked to be released [and] still nothing. No acknowledgmengt from the President of our label, Bryan Leach. Bottom line, we want to be released. If you're really down with our movement, holler [at] Bryan Leach". After that Nina Sky started to record an eight songs for a new album, set to release independently in summer. The album was recorded in winter and spring of 2010. It was finally released on August 3, 2010, independently through their official website. They released one more single from EP with the same title on July 21, 2010, as promotional song.
