Development
Nat begged his dad to record music in the recording studio at the early age of 6. His father, Michael Wolff allowed him to, so Nat recorded the song Crazy Car. Polly Draper (Nat & Alex's mom), then wrote a film about her son's band The Naked Brothers Band. Along with the film she wanted her sons to record songs, as if it they were recording a soundtrack for the film.
Writing
Nat Wolff began writing music for the film in late 2004, having already written and recorded "Crazy Car" he had to write very few songs. He wrote "Got No Mojo", "Motormouth", "Hardcore Wrestlers" and "If There Was a Place to Hide".
Recording
Recording began in early 2005, when Nat was just 9 years old. He recorded all of the music he wrote for him, his brother Alex was also able to write a song for the film, That's How It Is. The music was recorded by June 2005, just before filming began on The Naked Brothers Band Movie.
Release
The songs were meant to be released on a soundtrack for the movie, called: The Naked Brothers Band: Music from the Movie in 2006, but due to the project being developed into a television series instead, the soundtrack was unreleased.
The music was instead released on an extra disc that came with the DVD of the movie, that was released on April 3, 2007. The album only included 5 songs from the film, and was only available for a short time.
