After the breakup of Attack Attack!, drummer Andrew Wetzel, though initially apprehensive, decided to pursue a new band after being put in contact with guitarist Andrew Baylis through a mutual friend. In 2014, they announced the new project initially with Devone Voisine on bass and Sam Sky as lead vocalist, though Sky was replaced in July 2015 with current vocalist Chris Parkenty and guitarist Evan McKeever.

After the band's lineup was solidified in 2017, they began work on their self-produced debut EP, Misery. The work's main themes revolve around the bitterness of the group's past experiences and breakups within the music industry, with the album artwork depicting the band "having the soul sucked out of them." The EP was released on April 7, 2017, and was preceded by the lead single "King of Mercy", which had crossed 1 million Spotify streams by April 2018. The band toured with Hinder and Nonpoint in support of "Misery" across the United States in April and May 2017.

In a Mascot Records' press release on May 31, 2018, it was announced that the band was in the studio with producer Dan Korneff working on their debut full-length LP.

on Lost

Can you see me?
Asking if the other person can acknowledge their presence

The street's paved with broken glass
Suggesting the narrator was in a car accident

Red and blue lights
Some kind of emergency scene, maybe police or ambulance

It's all happening so fast
The situation is unfolding quickly and unexpectedly

Are you hurt, darling?
Asking if the other person is physically injured

Why won't you answer me?
The narrator, in a near death state, is unheard by their spouse in the car

Are you sad, darling?
Asking if the other person is emotionally distressed

Tears rolling down your cheeks
The other person is crying

Do you hear me?
Asking if the other person is able to hear them?

The siren so deafening
The sound of the sirens of the emergency vehicles are overwhelming

There's a white light
The emergency responders shine a light into the car, could also refer to seeing white at death

They call out to you and me
The emergency responders call out to the two in the accident

Are you mad, darling?
Asking if the other person is angry

Why do you scream my name?
They are confused about their spouse’s behavior without realizing they are dead

I'm afraid, darling
Feeling scared and anxious

My heart doesn't beat the same
The situation has them feeling uneasy

I'm drawn to you
They feel a strong connection to the other person

Without you I'm a mess
They feel lost and incomplete without the other person

You've got me so confused
The other person's behavior is causing them distress and anxiety

You're acting like I'm dead
Their spouse isn’t able to hear them and they don’f realize they’re dead

I don't know what to do without you
They feel helpless and lost without the other person

I'm lost
Feeling adrift and without direction

Forgive me
Asking for forgiveness

It's been days since I've heard you speak
The narrator has been dead for a few days and has been watching his spouse since the accident, missing her voice

Can I heal you?
Offering to help with the sorrow of losing him

Your body is so broke and weak
The other person is injured after the night

I was wrong, darling
Admitting their own fault in the situation

I had too much to drink that night
Narrator admitting post-mortem that they were drunk while driving that night

I'm a wreck, darling
Feeling overwhelmed and distraught

But I swear I'll make this right
Making a promise to fix things

I don't know why I speak then you turn your back
Communicating with their spouse but still not realizing they’re dead

My family's dressed up in black
Referring to their own funeral

My pictures hang in the frames
After their death, their memories live on

The headstone carved with my name
Their death has been memorialized

I thought we'd both be ok
Assuming that they thought they would be fine even while driving under the influence

But I know I am to blame
Taking responsibility for the situation
