Background
In 2015, Dan + Shay experienced a career breakthrough when "Nothin' Like You", the third single from their chart-topping debut album, reached number one on the Billboard Country Airplay chart. That same year, they began work on their second album. The duo told country music blog The Boot that they have grown as artists and songwriters in the time since completing their first record but didn't stray too far from what fans have come to expect from them on Obsessed. They also noted that they had more time to work on this album, and as a result they are "really, really proud" of the music they created. Obsessed became available for pre-order on April 29, 2016.
The album's title is derived from the final track and was inspired by the duo's fans. Following the release of "From the Ground Up", Dan + Shay noticed fans using the hashtag "#obsessed" in relation to the song, and they ultimately decided the descriptor was appropriate for the album. "We're even more obsessed with making music for our fans than they are to hear it," explained vocalist Shay Mooney.
"All Nighter" was previously recorded by American country music trio Lady Antebellum for the deluxe edition of their sixth studio album, 747 (2014).
Singles
The lead single for the album, "From the Ground Up", was released on February 5, 2016. It debuted at number 37 on the Country Airplay chart before its official radio release date (February 22, 2016) and has since peaked at 1; it has also reached a peak of 3 on the Hot Country Songs chart and entered the top 50 on the Billboard Hot 100.
"How Not To" was released to radio on September 26, 2016 as the album's second official single.
Other songs
"Already Ready" was made available to digital retailers on April 29, 2016 alongside the pre-order launch. It entered the Hot Country Songs chart at number 44.
