In an interview with Yahoo Music, Walker stated, "I think that I have worried in the past about trying not to sound too country on some songs and trying not to sound too pop on other songs, and I didn't really worry about that this time, I just sang the songs the best I could. It sounds very cliché, but I gave it everything I had on every song." [1] In an interview with the Associated Press, Walker revealed, "Holding Her and Loving You is probably the most controversial song that I've ever recorded. It's controversial for me because I don't believe in remaking a song that is great." Walker also went on to say that Earl Thomas Conley's version "Will always be the best version of it."[2]
In an interview with The Virginian-Pilot Walker said, "The theme of the album is freedom. While I did it, I felt so free. I didn't think about what I was going to do." In the same interview, Walker also stated that "Once in a Lifetime Love" was one of his favorite songs and said "It's probably the best vocal performance I've ever given. I was listening to Whitney Houston's version of `I Will Always Love You' - man, I want to write something like that." [3] During an interview with The West Australian Walker said "This is a very mature record for me. I think the Latin influence is where I want to go. I love Latin music and I'm sure it's something I want to pursue. It moves me emotionally and it's something new musically."[4] In an interview with the Las Vegas Sun Walker said, "For every album that you do, you look for 10 songs that are good songs, that are different from each other." Walker also explained the words in the albums title by saying "I don't think there are many things more important than those. Life gets complicated enough because we allow it to."[5]
Walker told The Hour, that the song "Cold Hearted" captures that part of his personality and said, "In the past, I felt like that part of me has not had a chance to come through on some of my records. Now I feel like on this new album that part of me is coming through. I'm not really holding back on this record. It's very much about baring my soul. I've never really let it all out before in the studio like I did on this album." He also said, "Although my single releases have not been exactly repeats of each other, I think there is a trap that some people in this business fall into. They have a hit with one type of song and then try to do another one just like it. To some extent I wasn't throwing enough curve balls to radio and to my fans when it came to my singles, so here's the curve ball they've all been waiting for, and I'm happy to say it's right across the plate!"[6]
