Mitchel began working on and recording the album in the summer of 2008. Musso worked with Sam Hollander, Dave Katz , Curt Schneider, Matthew Wilder and other producers and songwriters to produce the album in both Los Angeles and New York. Musso himself also contributed to the songwriting process by co-writing on 4 of the album's thirteen tracks. Mitchel sings solo on all of the tracks except two titled "Us Against the World" and "Shout It." The two are a duet featuring singer Katelyn Tarver and Musso's brother Mason Musso respectively.
In an interview regarding his thoughts on the tracks from the album, Musso stated: "But actually my favorite song off my album is a duet, Us Against The World and it’s my favorite song. I feel like it’s got the most uh, it’s kind of a dark vibe but at the same time it’s a really upbeat like uh, I would say a happy song. You know what I mean it’s all about getting Us Against The World and having someone with you to go through it together and just the fans all together. And I think the girls voice, her name’s Katelyn Tarver - she’s like unbelievable, so it was awesome getting her on the track." Aside from the four songs in which Mitchel co-wrote, the rest of tracks were written and produced by a variety of music producing member of which Musso said in regards to the songwriting process: "You know I don’t have a problem with the whole like, you know how a lot of people are like ‘Oh when you’re your own artist you write your own stuff’. And I get that completely, but at the same time isn’t it better to have more ideas floating around than just yourself."
The album was released on June 2, 2009. It was released as a digital download and as a physical CD. The physical CD includes a fold-out poster of Musso. They also include a exclusive stream of "Let's Make This Last 4Ever," which will be available once the album is purchased. The entire album was aired on Radio Disney, three days before it's release,on May 30, 2009.
