Arnold confirmed with Artisan News that the group had finished up recording, and that he "cannot wait for people to hear this record." Arnold also said that the band was hoping to release "Time of My Life" in early 2011. On March 31, 2011, 3 Doors Down announced that Time of My Life was set to be released on July 19, 2011. Brad Arnold spoke very positively of the album's heavier sound: "This record shows some growth on our part. We've had success in the past and we're very thankful for that, but there's always room to... take it up to another level. And I feel like we did that. There's a lot of songs that people can immediately identify with. We just really wanted to do our best on this record, and looking back on the whole experience, I can really say that we did."
