==Background==
In contrast to his first album, ''[[219 Days]]'', he describes this second effort as being more reflective of what he would like to do musically,<ref>{{cite news  | last =Kennedy | first =John | title =Kalan Porter ready for round two | publisher =[[Canada.com]] | date =July 20, 2007 | url =http://www.canada.com/topics/entertainment/story.html?id=493c93ce-96bd-479f-94cd-bcfdaa36c832&k=19268 | accessdate =September 13, 2007}}</ref> and he co-wrote most of this album's songs. The lead single, "Down in Heaven", is a tribute to his mother's battle with breast cancer.<ref>{{cite news | title =Kalan Porter lends voice to cancer fight | publisher =[[Canada.com]] | date =July 6, 2007 | url =http://www.canada.com/topics/entertainment/story.html?id=b6c8fd57-8537-4bc0-bebd-5e9c18d4d2e6&k=1704 | accessdate =September 13, 2007}}</ref> The second single is "Destination (Where I Belong)", and its video premiered on [[MuchMusic]] in November 2007.
