Kennedy tweeted, "I wanted to start the new year by bringing together all the songs you've been singing back to me in one collection. As well as that, right now I want to share 'For Island Fires and Family' with you. This song is hugely important to me, and I've been so excited to release it." Kennedy disclosed in an interview the meaning of the popular lyric, Now when Im face to face with death Ill grab his throat and ask him, How does it hurt?. He states that loss is inevitable.
