Background

Walsh decided to release a second album following the success of his debut album, saying "I am very flattered that so many people loved Chasing Dreams. The amazing response that we received was a big surprise to us all, and now we have to follow up that success with the second album. We have had a great time revisiting some of our favourite songs from stage and screen, and I am very proud of what we've achieved. I can only hope that people enjoy listening to it as much as we did making it."[2][3]
