The album touches upon themes of love and the ups and downs of relationships (which are familiar lyrical Erasure territory) and "Storm in a Teacup" references singer Bell's mother's alcoholism.

The album is available as two different editions: a standard 10-track CD album (CDSTUMM285) and a special 12-track deluxe limited edition CD album (LCDSTUMM285).
