"Swing Fever" will mark Stewart's first number one album in five years, following 2019's "You’re In My Heart" and Holland's first-ever release to top the charts. During an interview with The Associated Press, Stewart recalled sharing the vision he had for the album with Holland at the beginning of their collaboration.
"I’m not going to do any slow songs," Stewart said. "I want all upbeat happy [claps his hands], which we need in these grim times that we live in."
