The band wrote and recorded "G-Get Up and Dance!" in Faber's barn. One night, they were in a bar and someone, who was working at the bar, noticed them and instantly put on "Second Chance".^{[citation needed]} "Everyone just decided to go get drinks so the band decided to write a fun, party song".^[who?]

They were originally planning on releasing "G-Get Up and Dance!" under a side project called "Badass Moustache" but their record label convinced them to release it under Faber Drive.^{[citation needed]}

It was also co-written by Ricarda Faber, Faber's wife.
