“Pickleback is a six-track, sonic journey through the tumultuous emotions of a breakup, paralleling the experience of taking a Pickleback shot. Each track metaphorically represents a stage in the process of the whisky shot followed by pickle brine, mirroring the bitter beginning, the tangy middle, and the sweet resolution of meeting somebody new, ultimately finding true happiness.

The album’s opener, "Cry 'Til I Drown”, is a lyrically poignant song about the initial heartbreak, juxtaposed with the catchy pop melody. With the verses depicting the loneliness and despair, the choruses celebrate friendship's role in the healing journey.
