He told interviewer Will Laving that he came to a crossroads in his fight:
I came to a point in my life where I was like, “I can either just give up and fucking die or I can fucking fight for what I want.” And I chose to fight for what I wanted. I wanted to have good relationships. I wanted to love the people in my life. I wanted to enjoy my job.
“I wanted to enjoy being a dad and having friends and just getting up in the morning. Because that was a struggle for me,” he added.

He also revealed that the intimate album delved into the parts of their lives usually hidden from everyone else and that he was emerging from “the darkest time” of his life when they began working on it.
