Background


Witzigreuter signed with Hopeless Records prior to the release of I Will Be Nothing Without Your Love. He spoke about signing with the label in an interview with Alternative Press.

"I think that being at Hopeless now is going to enable me to do things that I've wanted to do for a long time. In the past, it's been very single-oriented and all about radio campaigns. I feel like this time, it's going to be a little less of that and [more of] me being able to be more creative and put out things that I want to put out."[2]

Witzigreuter believes that the album gets to be a little more honest and feels more like him.[2]


Singles


Two singles were released from the album. "Good Enough" was released as the first single on February 5, 2016 along with its music video directed by Erik Rojas.[3] A remix by Michael Brun was released on May 20, 2016, which led the song to have a bigger impact, reaching more than 8 million streams on Spotify and peaked at number 40 on the US Dance/Mix Show Airplay chart.[4][5][6] "Disappearing Act" was released as the second single on March 11, 2016 along the premiere of its music video, directed by Megan Thompson.[7][8] "Swim" was released as a promotional single on March 31, 2016 before the album's arrival.[9]

Tim Sendra of AllMusic describes Witzigreuter's work as "carefully crafted arrangements like they were meant to be together forever, his lyrics touch on pain, but in a harmless, easy to swallow fashion, and the sleek production goes down smooth but never sounds plastic." He also compliments his album as he states, "I Will Be Nothing Without Your Love is The Ready Set's most impressively Pop record yet." Amy Ebeling of Alternative Press says, "although songs begin to blend into one another and certain hooks become repetitive over the span of the LP, I Will Be Nothing Without Your Love is well worth a listen."[12]
