In a letter to fans, the band wrote: "It’s been a reflective time for us as we look back on all our experiences from the last ten years. Our lives changed with the release of Torches. That record became our airplane. It was our passport to see the world, to meet so many different people from so many different cultures, and to share our hearts in its purest form. We are so grateful that this album continues to reach new ears still to this day; and especially for the fans that have been with us from the beginning. Thank you for your continued support as we evolve and move into different chapters. It’s been the joy of our lives to be able to make art for you and with you. We have had a deep connection with you from the beginning. You have trusted us with your own personal stories of struggle, loss, triumph, and love. and we have trusted you with ours. The story continues, but we would like to take a moment with you to celebrate the first chapter. Thank you for giving us the greatest gift imaginable, a dream fulfilled. - Love, Foster the People"
