The album "Free" finds DeGraw leaning into a more stripped-down, organic sound, a departure from the R&B-infused pop of his earlier work. Recorded in a home studio environment, the album showcases DeGraw's songwriting in a raw, unvarnished state.
- The album was largely recorded in DeGraw's own home studio in upstate New York, featuring a more intimate and less polished sound than his previous albums.
- "Free" was released on March 31, 2009, by J Records, with the lead single being "Set It Free."
- The album peaked at number 34 on the Billboard 200 chart.
