How It Feels to Be Lost

Kellin Quinn expressed his feelings on touring and performing the tracks from Gossip in a 2019 interview with Loudwire. "The year or two after touring that record, I had a really hard time going onstage and believing in the things I was saying. I didn't feel like a legend. I didn't feel like all those positive things that I was trying to push across to people. After Gossip, we weren't sure what we were going to do. We were talking about maybe doing a hiatus."{{cite web|url=https://loudwire.com/sleeping-with-sirens-kellin-quinn-interview-leave-it-all-behind/|title=Sleeping With Sirens Get Heavy With 'Leave It All Behind'|first=Taylor|last=Markarian|website=Loudwire|date=19 June 2019 }} Quinn explained that his biggest regret was not taking a break from the band and touring. "I should’ve said something, but I just kind of rolled with it. I think that’s my biggest regret."

For unknown reasons, Matt Good is credited to produce an unknown twelfth track (on standard edition), which is non-existent on the album.{{cite AV media notes | title=How It Feels to Be Lost | year=2019 | others=Sleeping with Sirens | type=liner notes | publisher=Sumerian | location=US }}
