The EP is a concept album about celebrity life and mental illness revolving around the protagonist's breakup with a mysterious woman named Juanita, as well as his thoughts of suicide and substance abuse.[6]. Callison detailed his inspiration behind the album's themes in an interview with rockyourlyrics.com, saying "It’s also a commentary on a lot of young actors and artists who have lost the battle; there’s been a lot of dead 20 and 21 year olds in the industry this year, some of whom I knew or admired. I don’t know how we fix the problem, but I needed to say something."[7]
