Background
Following the 2011 mixtape release Take One..., Raaginder then still using the moniker "Violinder" began to work on new music that wasn't "cover music" but originally composed and produced. Raaginder stated " It was the first time, I displayed my music productions and original compositions on a body of work". The album's title was inspired by the Jay Z song "Beach Chair". The lead single "Dholna Ve" featuring Tina Mann was released on October 31, 2013. and was succeeded with "Raindrops" a tribute to Raaginder's mother whom passed away in April during the recording process and the single featured on The Times of India, "Bonfire/Coastin" featuring Sodhivine and KinG! a few months later on October 29, 2014. Due to a last minute addition the album was supposed to release on October 27, 2014, but was pushed back to October 29, 2014. On October 28, a day before the albums release via Twitter, Momi teased the tracklist.
