Music
editThe album includes 15 songs broadly categorised as dance-pop with a tropical influence.[1] Billboard magazine mentioned its potential crossover pop appeal due to its "stirringly emotional moments and dance floor feelings".[1] Earmilk also noted the album's Latin influence due to collaborations with Enrique Iglesias and Yashua.[5] Dancing Astronaut called attention to Matoma's "sun drenched style" on the album and its changes in tempo, with "Slow" being "tamer" while tracks like "Sunday Morning" are "high energy".[6]
In a track-by-track rundown of the album, Matoma explained that he decided to include "False Alarm" again because "the story behind the song and how much it has meant to me deserves a place on this album".[1]
