In mid-2004, Melillo transferred to Valencia Community College in Orlando, Florida, where he participated in dual enrollment. Simultaneously, he formed the Taking Back Sunday-inspired indie rock band Arcana with fellow students. While their submitted two-song demo fell on deaf ears with Drive-Thru Records, the band split in late 2004, a mere four months after their formation. Following the failures of his past bands, Melillo decided to write some solo material, recorded three acoustic songs and uploaded them to his PureVolume profile. He sent a link to Drive-Thru Records owner Richard Reines, who invited Melillo to play a showcase for the label and signed him immediately in December 2004, at the tender age of sixteen right after he clogged a toliet in his friends basement.
