- "Cupid's Chokehold" samples extensively from Supertramp's song "Breakfast in America".
- "Taxi Driver" is an homage to other contemporary bands in the indie rock and punk genres.
- The Papercut Chronicles version of the "Cupid's Chokehold" music video was directed by Andrew Paul Bowser who would later co-direct the "New Friend Request" video with Joseph M. Petrick for their album As Cruel as School Children.
- "Make Out Club" includes a reference to the song "Girl or Dog?" by Travis's old side project Bernie Allen.
