Parachute is the fifth studio album for the band; the album was produced by Jacquire King (Kings of Leon, Dawes, Tom Waits, Modest Mouth, Norah Jones, Josh Ritter, Punch Brothers). All songs were written by Will Anderson except "Ocean" and "Talk to Me" by Will Anderson and Jackson Morgan. Fans and critics alike are no stranger to Anderson's impeccable ability to connect as a songwriter, with Billboard hailing that he has a "knack for writing emotionally connecting, hook-laden songs that linger in the brain for days' as well as Idolator calling the band's past songs, "well-crafted and infectious."
