Augie March worked with producer Joe Chiccarelli, who took a significant pay cut to work on the album after declaring an interest in Augie March's music. According to Richards, the production of "Watch Me Disappear" was a process that contained "a fair bit of friction". Ammendola was critical of Chiccarelli's style of production and the short amount of time spent in the studio. The recording process also took its toll on the relationships in the band. Ammendola has said that "It tore us to bits. It was really really shit, we’re slowly patching up now."
