Once we got to playing, it felt more comfortable, because then we were working with a peer. Songs such as "On Fire," with its two-minute running time and early-Faces blues-rock vibe, and "Darling, It's True," with its gently Strokes-reminiscent groove, certainly sound more like Davies' vintage rock than modern pop.

The band also filmed a commercial for Sylvania light bulbs, in which the band is shown singing "This Little Light of Mine".
