The band originally announced two separate releases, an EP titled ''Fire and Ice'', and a full-length album to follow, titled ''Gone So Long''.<ref>[http://tunelab.com/2010/06/08/revis-set-date-for-new-album-working-on-follow-up/ Revis Set Date For New Album; Working On Follow-Up – tunelab™] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120609121347/http://tunelab.com/2010/06/08/revis-set-date-for-new-album-working-on-follow-up/ |date=June 9, 2012 }}.

In February 2011, the band announced that ''Do We Have to Beg?'' would be released on May 20, 2011, to coincide with the 8 year anniversary of the release of ''Places for Breathing''. A track list wasn't announced, but some song information was revealed. An electric, full-band version of "Searching For Someone" was initially announced as the first single, but the band changed their mind and decided to release "Save Our Souls" as the first single.<ref>[http://tunelab.com/2011/03/03/revis-announce-first-single/ Revis Announce First Single – tunelab™] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120609121435/http://tunelab.com/2011/03/03/revis-announce-first-single/ |date=June 9, 2012 }}.

In June, the band released a final track from the sessions, "Fire and Ice", as an apology and "thank you" for the patience from their fans. However, it wasn't until August, three months after the album delay, that the band announced that legal issues kept them from ever releasing the album in its then-current form, so they are currently in the process of re-recording the entire album.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.placesforbreathing.com/fr_home.cfm?pollaction=showresults |title=REVIS Fansite - Places for Breathing - Home |accessdate=June 26, 2012 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20120501111121/http://placesforbreathing.com/fr_home.cfm?pollaction=showresults |archivedate=May 1, 2012  }}</ref> After four more months of silence, drummer David Piribauer reiterated the band's intent to re-record the album, blaming the lack of progress on his seriously injured leg.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u--9OVsdWEI&feature=player_detailpage Revis Update 12/28/11!!].

After four more months of silence, almost a year after the album's initial release date, guitarist Robert Davis confirmed that Revis had disbanded.<ref name="ReferenceA">[http://tunelab.com/2012/05/02/interview-musicianproducer-robert-davis-guitarist-revis/ Interview: Musician/Producer Robert Davis (Guitarist, Revis) – tunelab™] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120616132748/http://tunelab.com/2012/05/02/interview-musicianproducer-robert-davis-guitarist-revis/ |date=June 16, 2012 }}. Tunelab.com (May 2, 2012). Retrieved on June 11, 2017.</ref> The issues regarding ''Do We Have To Beg?'' not being released involved what the band perceived as an unfair contract with the record label.<ref name="ReferenceA"/> The band disagreed about how to continue, re-recording of their second album never took off, and the band members eventually stopped contacting each other.<ref name="ReferenceA"/> There is still no intention to ever release the second album.<ref name="ReferenceA"/>

Davis summed up the band's label issues and eventual demise: <blockquote> We had no contract with the label the whole time we were working with them, and they were helping us start our career and put money towards a tour...We went back to the same studio and had this conversation with Jay Baumgardner, and he said he’d love to sign us but they weren’t close to getting contracts done. So we said let’s start recording and get the ball rolling, and we did, but then this contract got presented to us that just wasn’t fair. It just didn’t make any sense, and we wouldn’t have been able to survive off the terms. We went out and did a little bit of touring, and that got cut short because of the financing, and then we couldn’t see eye to eye about the choice to keep going. I wanted to keep touring, Justin didn’t. He wanted something more secure, and I said let’s just play the shows because there were fans out there, but we just didn’t see eye to eye. I’m not saying I was right or I was wrong, we just couldn’t decide what we should do and we couldn’t be together any more. Later on we had some more conversations that went in the same direction, and we couldn’t see eye to eye. Eventually we just stopped talking. There were so many good songs that I want to get out there, but we just can’t put them out with that band. I’m doing everything I can to help [the songs] see the light of day through other projects.<ref name="ReferenceA"/></blockquote>
Davis did iterate that some of the songs may still see release as part of the future "Save Our Souls" documentary soundtrack,<ref name="ReferenceA"/> which, despite the name, is not about the Revis song, but about the effects of [[Hurricane Katrina]] on the [[burlesque]] industry of New Orleans.<ref>[http://thesouthern.com/entertainment/feature/article_cc54166a-7737-11e0-90b0-001cc4c002e0.html Revis comes home | Feature]. thesouthern.com (May 5, 2011).
