Regarding the album's title, vocalist Perry Farrell states: "I love being able to escape my past, even though my past was great. I just love the future even more."

Describing the album's overall aestheic, Farrell has noted: "it's a strange mixture of that post-punk Goth darkness that Jane's had, with what's going on today with groups like Muse and Radiohead. As much as I want to appease fans and make old Jane's fans love me, I just can't help myself from moving forward." Following the album's completion, producer Rich Costey stated, "This was a real Jane's Addiction record."
