Latar Belakang

Dalam pembuatan album, Tomlinson menyatakan bahwa dia telah menghabiskan waktu "begitu lama di album ini" karena dia "tidak bisa tidak mendambakan single 'hit'" setelah berkarir di "straight down the middle pop". Sementara dia memulai karir solonya dengan single yang bergenre elektro "Just Hold On" dan "Back to You", setelah kematian ibu dan saudara perempuannya dan merenungkan apa yang dia inginkan, Tomlinson memutuskan bahwa "mungkin saya harus mulai dengan apa yang Saya suka dan mulai dari situ."^[6] Setelah akhirnya menemukan suaranya, ia berhasil membuat album yang jujur tentang pikiran dan perasaannya dan akhirnya merilisnya.
