East stated that he chose the album name from Delilah, one of the characters in the seventh book of the Bible called Book of Judges, which features the famous story of Samson and Delilah. "Samson was like the strongest man alive. God blessed him with this superhuman strength but it all laid in his hair. He’s infatuated with [Delilah], totally in love with her, told her secrets and that was the crumbling of the strongest man that’s ever lived. That’s kind of the thread through the record: the woman that saved the crumbled man."
