After remaining independent for over a year, on August 31, 2012, The Cab announced that they had signed a record deal with Universal Republic . Writing began for the third album in early June 2012. The group started recording the album in January 2013, posting studio updates. On April 25, 2014, Alex Marshall announced he had parted ways with The Cab via their official Facebook page. On April 28, the group returned and released the single “Lock Me Up”. An EP, Lock Me Up , was released on April 29, opting to release an EP instead of a full-length album at the time. According to DeLeon, they had written 120 songs during the album cycle and he hoped to include an additional seven to eight songs on the album. Speaking about the direction the band was heading to, DeLeon described it as leaning “a little darker.” The album was expected to be released later in 2014.
