The band signed onto a major label with Atlantic in 2009. The band finished recording in June 2009. The band began writing their new record in December 2008, the first writing process as a band without lyricist Lancaster. The band played the 2008 Vans Warped Tour and toured with All Time Low, The Maine, and Every Avenue in Fall 2008 on The Compromising of Integrity, Morality, and Principles in Exchange for Money Tour. The band made their first UK appearance in April 2008 performing at the Give it a Name festival in Sheffield and London. Mayday Parade supported their album on the 2007 Vans Warped Tour. "When I Get Home, You're So Dead" was one of the first songs the band wrote.

In January 2007, the band started to record their debut studio album, A Lesson in Romantics. A Lesson in Romantics and Lancaster's departure (2007–2008) tour with Brandtson and Mêlée, then on another tour with Plain White T's shortly after the release of the EP. They decided on the band name Mayday Parade during the week they spent recording in the studio. Still arguing over a name, the band went into the studio to record their first EP Tales Told by Dead Friends, on November 7, 2006, with producer Lee Dyess. Both bands previously practiced in the same building, before it occurred to Lenzo that it "made more sense if we put them together instead of playing separately." Kid Named Chicago featured vocalist/guitarist Jason Lancaster, guitarist Alex Garcia and drummer Jake Bundrick, while Defining Moment featured vocalist Derek Sanders, guitarist Brooks Betts, and bassist Jeremy Lenzo. Mayday Parade was formed in the winter of 2005 following the merger of two local Tallahassee bands, Kid Named Chicago and Defining Moment.
