Subsequently, "Run & Hide" was released a week prior to the release of the album. The third single "Can not Be Saved" was released on June 20, 2010. Recording and Production

After the record labels B-Unique and Polydor failed to release the previous album "This Is A Fix" in time and to promote it, the band made the decision to end their 5-disc contract. After the offers of several record labels, the band decided to establish their own label Armored Records, giving the band complete creative control, despite the validity of the EMI contract to distribute the album. After the tour ended in November 2008, the band returned to the studio, only four months after releasing their album This Is A Fix.

For the rest of 2008 and until November 2009 he worked from his recording studio in Cardiff in the new material, working with around 20 ideas, which were eventually reduced to 11 songs for the album and currently an unknown quantity After the writing and shows on stage, the band worked with Richard Jackson, who produced some songs for Not Accepted Anywhere and This Is A Fix, describing his work as 'almost the fifth member of The Automatic'. The album was eventually recorded with Richard Jackson and Stephen Davies at Warwick Hall Studios in Cardiff, later mixed at Buffalo Studios and Machine Rooms. In the studio the group worked with Nathan Stone and Carly Worsfold on the songs "Run & amp; Hide" and "High Time", which provided the string section.
