Background
Parmalee had first released the lead single from the album, "Roots", on April 11, 2016, however it only reached No. 35 on Country Airplay. The lead singer of Parmalee Matt Thomas then started to co-write a number of new songs with other songwriters, such as Craig Wiseman, Jim Beavers, Josh Osborne, busbee, and Tom Douglas. The group also decided to co-produce these new tracks through their own initiative with other producers, primarily Tommy Cecil and Brock Berryhill. One of these new songs, "Sunday Morning", was released to radio as the second single on May 1, 2017.{{cite journal |url=https://www.countryaircheck.com/pdf_publication/Issue_547%20-%20April%2024,%202017.pdf|journal=Country Aircheck |title= Add Dates |date=April 24, 2017|issue= 547 |page=Chart page 4 }} The songs from the album were recorded in five different locations, including Pegram Palace, where the Thomas brothers live.{{cite web |url=http://www.billboard.com/articles/columns/country/7881197/parmalee-new-album-27861 |title=Parmalee Avoided Music Row, Took DIY Approach for New Album '27861'|date=August 2, 2017 |first= Tom |last=Roland|work=Billboard }}

Matt Thomas said: "We've had that album title for a while; we've really been wanting to use it. We just felt like now was the time to use it".{{cite web |url=https://www.rollingstone.com/country/news/parmalee-announce-new-album-27861-w485199 |title=Parmalee Announce New Album '27861' | first=Jeff |last=Gage|date=June 1, 2017 |work=Rolling Stone }}
