Tyler said on Australia's 60 Minutes, "I spent five or six million dollars. But it doesn't matter. You also could say I snorted half of Peru, but it doesn't matter. You know, it's what we did." Steven then went on to talk about some of the lyrics on tracks such as Lover A Lot and Love Three Times A Day."
He added, "I was reading the lyrics upstairs and I was thinking, there's a lot of love. And I got shameful for a minute and thought, We should be more socially relevant…I'm not socially relevant but I write about love and passion – and it's fun! It's what I think a rock'n'roll band should be."
