The first track from the album, "Ahead of the Game," is a refreshingly 70s-inspired song. The back choruses for the songs on this album were inspired by late 70s groups like Wings, 10cc, and Supertramp," says Gary. Gary says, "I was inspired by groups like Wings, 10cc, and Supertramp from the late 70s. When asked why he is making a solo album now, Gary replied, "Playing around the world with Nick Mason has given me the confidence to gain a certain reputation as a guitar player and singer that I didn't get from the Spandau Ballet. It gave me the confidence to make a solo album.I feel that at a certain age I need to understand the problems of the world and my life, and in my case the only way I can do that is through self-therapy through songwriting." I feel the only way I can do that is through self-therapy through songwriting," he replies. The album features Guy Pratt, bassist for Pink Floyd and Nick Mason's Searchful of Seacrets, and Roger Taylor of Queen on drums for "Too Much.
