Background
On October 27, 2017, the website Metal Injection reported that the band's drummer and author Jeremy Spencer had stated to Razor 94.7: "It just seems like it just started even though it's been 10 years. We're always wrapped up in our vacuum in our cocoon of our daily life. So you don't pay attention to that stuff and now we're like 'we have a greatest hits'. And the label thought it was the right time. So we were like 'Cool, let's put some new songs on it though'. We don't wanna make... cause people can pretty much... ya know they have the records already. But now this is a cool package with different stuff on it. The artwork's really rad on it. It's cool".{{cite web|url=http://www.metalinjection.net/upcoming-releases/five-finger-death-punch-drummer-on-greatest-hits-set-do-we-even-have-enough-hits |title=FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH Drummer on Greatest Hits Set: "Do We Even Have Enough Hits?" |publisher=Metal Injection |date=October 27, 2017 |accessdate=December 8, 2017}}
