In an interview with Billboard, vocalist Keith Buckley opens up about the life-threatening complications that affected his wife, Lindsay, resulting the premature birth of their daughter last year. “C++” is inspired by the first night he spent with his wife and new daughter in the intensive care unit:

“I had never felt so helpless,” he tells Billboard. “I could do nothing for her. I couldn’t tell her it was going to be OK. I couldn’t even tell her that death wouldn’t be better because I had no idea yet if our daughter had even made it. I kept asking doctors what the machines meant, and eventually I could tell they were sick of me asking so many questions. I realized that if I could only understand what their beeps meant I might have some hope. I might have some answers.”

Buckley says that he wrote the album in response to the situation as a way to process his feelings as his wife and child recovered.

“I didn’t know what I was doing or exactly how it was working, but writing lyrics at night and feeling like I had made sense of some of my confusion gave me hope,” Buckley says. “I would take that hope into the hospital rooms. We would get more good news. I would go back to writing lyrics with confidence. Confidence made me hopeful.”
