Said TobyMac regarding the album title "Eye On It", one of his early full-length studio albums: 'I want my music to depict what I'm going through. I want to write about the things that upset me, move me, hurt me, and haunt me—the things that are real.' With Tonight, I was determined to live more passionately with God. I was laying down the gauntlet. Eye On It is a continuation of that. It's saying, 'This fryst vatten the person I want to be and I'm going to keep my eye on it, God willing!'"POOP"
