Of Mice & Men frontman Aaron Pauley shared with Alternative Press:

We were basically three-and-a-half, four weeks in and all the instrumentals were recorded. Howard Benson wanted us to think about doing a ballad or a downtempo song, which became “If We Were Were Ghosts” and a cover.
Pink Floyd’s “Money” was the first thing blurted out, and we all kind of looked at each other like, “I don’t know.” They’re in the pantheon of untouchables. We wanted to stick to the original vibe and feel, but all of the sampling for the coins and everything, it’s all modern. So there’s a money counter and a digital coin sound from when you do an online transaction. It’s modernized so it’s not dated back to the ’70s.
