The majority of songs were written by Fredriksson while performing on Roxette's "Join the Joyride! Tour". She later said of that tour: "You really learn to live this life – a very strange life – because you're almost always travelling and there's always people around you, wherever you are, so you rarely have peace and quiet to be yourself. ... I sat and wrote ["Den ständiga resan"] while I was having lunch, because there was a certain quiet then. It was such an intrusive routine."
