"As far as the themes go, I don't even know if it's called a theme but the title of the record, we knew it's gonna be the name of our first album long before we had a record deal. We kind of shaped our sound and our songs around the idea of 'Lovesick Electric', so it kind of came this, um, you know, consistent reminder of what we wanted to be."
Overstreet described the album as a "feel good record" with a lot of dance beat songs. The group went on tour with The Rocket Summer in the spring of 2010 to promote the album. The band also went on a fall tour with Parachute in 2010.

Critical reception
