The album consists of 11 songs, all of which were written by Jeff Tweedy.[5][6] Staples said she hoped the album will "bring us all together as a people. That's what I hope to do. You can't stop me. You can't break me. I'm too loving. These songs are going to change the world."[7][8] Tweedy described the message of the album, saying, "I’ve always thought of art as a political statement in and of itself—that it was enough to be on the side of creation and not destruction. But there is something that feels complicit at this moment in time about not facing what is happening in this country head on."[9][10][11][12] Release and promotionThe lead single, "If All I Was Was Black", was released on September 11, 2017, along with the album's pre-order.[13] "Little Bit" was released as the second single from the album on October 12, 2017.[14] The third single, "Build a Bridge", was released on November 7, 2017.[15] "Ain't No Doubt About It" was released as the fourth and final single on November 14, 2017.[16] A music video for "If All I Was Was Black" was released on February 12, 2018.[17] Critical reception{{Album ratings| MC = 80/100[18] | rev1 = AllMusic | rev1Score = {{Rating|4|5}}[18] | rev2 = Paste | rev2Score = 8.4/10[19] | rev3 = The A.V.
