Sound Scene

Let's Cheers to This is the second studio album by American rock band Sleeping with Sirens. The album is the first to feature guitarists Jesse Lawson and Jack Fowler.

Production

Recording took place at Interlace Audio in Portland, Oregon. Sessions were co-produced by Kris Crummett, who also served as the engineer, and the band. Crummett provided additional instrumentation, specifically percussion, electronics, piano and strings, before mixing and mastering the recordings.

Composition

"Do It Now Remember It Later" is about people who stand in the way of others' dreams. For the band, this refers to critics and people they work with. "If You Can't Hang" is about three different relationships and the lessons learned from them. Quinn came up with the pre-chorus while waiting before a show in San Francisco, with the rest of the song following shortly after. "Who Are You Now" talks about hope and self-reflection. "Four Corners and Two Sides" discuss faith and where a person stands with it. Quinn came up with "A Trophy Father's Trophy Son" while thinking about divorce and how it affects the parent's children. It is written from the perspective of a son to a father.

Guitarist Jack Fowler showed the rest of the band a riff, which later became "Fire". It talks about a drive people have inside themselves, and the knowledge that what we do could consumes us. "Tally It Up: Settle the Score" was the first song written for the album. The band were apprehensive about including "Your Nickel Ain't Like My Dime", but, according to Quinn, "it has a vibe that not many bands can pull off in our scene." Quinn and guitarist Jesse Lawson wrote "All My Heart" acoustically, and decided to include it as-is on the album. Quinn titled the last track "Let's Cheers to This" after his stepson's enthusiasm for New Years Day. He added that it, along with the album, is a "cheers to triumph, hard times, success, and to life itself."
