Produced entirely by Cope and longtime collaborator Big Soda, For Now depicts an interpersonal journey of love and self worth. The style of production varies as the record goes on, from the neo-gospel inspired intro Dwell to traditional boom-bap tracks like Back Up, to the piano-driven closer Self. Cope said of the production, “I don’t really care what kind of songs I make or what genre they end up being. I was told once that ‘my style is having no style’, and to some degree that’s true. I just want to make good songs, who cares what they sound like.”
