This cover of Mutt was recorded for a blink-182 Reddit tribute project titled "182 2.1". Numerous songs from discord-182 (a Discord tribute to blink-182, which is where the band members for Before You Go first met) were also submitted.
The solo during the bridge was an idea introduced by Josh, as a way to "just add a little something" to make it stand out a bit more.
The album artwork is a very dark photo of Josh playing an acoustic guitar at a campfire, which is what inspired the name and theme of "Close (The Campfire Song)" off of Before You Go's "Valentine's Day Bouquet" EP.
The reason why this photo was used for the artwork is because the bandmates forgot to make a cover, so Josh snagged a random photo off of the google drive and darkened it.
The font used for the word "Mutt" is the same font used for most of Before You Go's logos, the "Soundcheck" EP, and parts of the "Valentine's Day Bouquet" EP.

He pauses shaving and he tells himself that he is the bomb
She has her curlers set, her credit cards are paying the funds
He's not that old, I've been told a strong sexual goal
He goes out everyday she goes every way, oh yeah
And they don't even care at all
She's open waiting for more
And I know he's only looking to score
And it is way to unhealthy
Often they've typically
Been starved for attention before
She smokes a dozen and he doesn't seem to notice the smell
He took the seat off his own bike because the way that it felt
He wants to bone this I know she is ready to blow
They go out every night his pants are super tight, oh yeah
And they don't even care at all
She's open waiting for more
And I know he's only looking to score
And it is way too unhealthy
Often they've typically
Been starved for attention before
She's open waiting for more
And I know he's only looking to score
And it is way too unhealthy
Often they've typically
Been starved for attention before
