In an interview with ''[[Rolling Stone]]'' on July 26, 2012, Drew Lachey revealed that a week before, the group had their first rehearsal in over a decade. He also explained the group decided to come back together because they were all at that place in their lives where they felt comfortable committing to being in a group again, and they also felt the timing was right because the pop music genre has come back around. "Music is very cyclical. You go through rock stages, R&B stages, rap stages... It's an uphill battle if you try and do pop during a rap stage," says Lachey. Regarding the group's future, he said at this time, they currently have no plan beyond their performances at ''The Today Show'' and the Mixtape Festival.<ref>{{cite web|last=Greene|first=Andy|title=Exclusive: Drew Lachey on the Return of 98 Degrees|url=https://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/exclusive-drew-lachey-on-the-return-of-98-degrees-20120726|publisher=Rollingstone|access-date=July 29, 2012|date=July 26, 2012}}</ref> However, in September 2012, he revealed the group was going to go back into the studio to record a new album in October.<ref>{{cite web|title=98 Degrees to record again in October|url=http://cincinnati.com/blogs/tv/2012/09/11/98-degrees-to-record-again-in-october/|publisher=Cincinnati.com|access-date=2 October 2012|date=September 11, 2012|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120914034057/http://cincinnati.com/blogs/tv/2012/09/11/98-degrees-to-record-again-in-october/|archive-date=September 14, 2012|df=mdy-all}}</ref>
