In another studio update posted on April 27, Barakat mentioned they had narrowed down the songs that would make the album. They subsequently wrote a lot of material in the studio. Gaskarth said the band went into the studio with around 15 songs, before that number was whittled down to three. The group listened to the demos they had recorded previously, picking and choosing which songs they would work on further, as well as parts of other songs they wanted to retain. According to a studio update posted on April 20, guitarist Jack Barakat revealed the band was in pre-production. The group previously worked with Leavitt on The Party Scene (2005) and the Put Up or Shut Up EP.

In December, the group performed a number of shows. Gaskarth revealed the band was aiming to enter the recording studio in the winter. To support its release, the group appeared on a number of Warped Tour dates and toured with Amber Pacific. Opting to release the EP instead "made the most sense as far as where we were and what we wanted to do". Gaskarth also said that the group did not want to "feel pressured or rushed" to make an album. Vocalist/guitarist Alex Gaskarth said the EP helped the band gain new fans, while at the same time allowing them time to progress musically. Following high school graduation, the members focused on the group full-time, and released the Put Up or Shut Up EP in July.
