Two of the albums in the Prescription for Sleep: Game Music Lullabies series are compilation albums. The second one had an extra track inspired by Shovel Knight. That track is titled “Courage Under Fire”. Three of the albums were dedicated to Celeste, Secret of Mana, and Undertale. The series also has a compilation of battle themes turned lullabies, and a charity EP that honors the late, and much missed Nintendo President, Satoru Iwata.

Album Producer Jayson Napolitano had the following comments on the Prescription for Sleep: Shovel Knight album:

“I’ve been wanting to produce this album for a long time. With King of Cards due out next week, the time is now, and we’re especially pleased to share our longest album to date with a beautiful physical edition that I personally can’t wait to get my hands on.”
