Background
Frontman Greg Gonzalez said: «We made [Cry] to just be a snapshot of a moment, to capture the feeling of something. And it’s flawed, but the fact that it’s flawed means that it’s an honest portrayal. And that’s what is perfect about it to me.» Gonzalez also remarked that he views the album as a «film» as it was «shot in this stunning, exotic location Mallorca, and it stitches all these different characters and scenes together, but in the end is really about romance, beauty & sexuality.» Elaborating on the band’s style, Gonzalez said that after experiencing heartbreak, the music he needed was «very gentle» and «very peaceful, because internally I was going through such turmoil. The music that I make became a reaction to the life that happened.» Gonzalez wrote «Falling in Love» over two years. He states, «I wrote the chorus in the middle of a bunch of tours, very far from love or real relationships, and trying to write that song would’ve felt dishonest. By the time we got into the studio, I was seeing my current girlfriend and wrote from a real perspective. It felt very strange, in a way, to finally have that.»
