In July of last year, Usrey spoke withRolling StoneaboutThese Daysand said it was an album about reflection and growing up.

"It's about heartbreak, as usual, but the overall theme is more mature than what I've been writing about," he said.

Usrey added, "It's about counting the little wins, and that's why I named itThese Days. I want to appreciate every little moment, and every day that I make it through, and everybody else makes it through. It's not all self-destruction anymore, it's about real stuff."
