The cover art is similar to the EP in that it is simply the official band photo under the official band logo. The three-track EP is being deemed a sampler as all of the tracks on it will be featured on their debut album, which is also self-titled. The EP received very positive reviews and chart success as "Can't Shut Up," the first track from the EP, peaked at No. 42 on Billboard's Christian Songs chart and at No. 27 on the CHR radio charts. Although it was the second EP by the group, it was the first on Reunion Records and the first under their current name. On February 1, 2011, Anthem Lights released the Anthem Lights EP. These songs this record is our anthem to the world saying, "Listen, we know there's a lot of darkness in this life, but in the end, light is gonna win." And we wanna be the light to people and just show them who the light of the world is.
Vocalist Kyle Kupecky comments about the meaning behind the name: Months later, the group signed to Reunion Records. The group's name changed to Anthem Lights sometime after their independent release as Yellow Cavalier. The group changed their name to Anthem Lights before any other projects were released. The EP was released independently on May 26, 2009. The group recorded one self-titled EP under this name in 2009. The original name of the group was Yellow Cavalier. Powell joined the group at the last minute.
After receiving notifications by e-mail, Graham flew from Los Angeles to meet with Kupecky and Grimm, who gladly accepted membership. Powell and Graham's contacts came to a consensus that Kyle Kupecky and Caleb Grimm would be the best candidates for the project. It was then that Powell and Graham decided to alert their contacts at Liberty University in an effort to recruit members for what is now a singing group. As the final vocal work was being installed, Powell and Graham came to a realization that the songs being written would be more appropriate performed as a group. Both he and Alan Powell were living in Los Angeles, writing music for Graham's solo project. Anthem Lights began as a solo project for vocalist Chad Graham in the fall of 2007.
