In an interview with Vogue Philippines last year, Eric shared the concept behind the album.

"To me, this album is much about an existential crisis, kind of an introspective period where I [had] wanted to get this house on a hill," he relayed.

The singer-actor added: “It made me start to question what is it that makes me really happy. What’s the reason for me wanting to own a house. Is it status, is it happiness? Is it a sense of stability of something that’s mine?”
