Fans have been waiting for new music since February, when Smith shared a post alongside his girlfriend Zada ​​and wrote a comment promising that new music would be released soon. “Album soon I got distracted,” he captioned his own post, which showed him and Zada ​​doing all sorts of activities.

His last musical release came in 2020 when he released “CTV3: Cool Tape Vol. 3”. The following year, he released an expanded edition of the record to mark the project's anniversary, making it clear that he would be taking a long break from music afterward. “I always just make an album and then I leave, but now that I'm releasing all these visuals for this album at the end of the summer, I'm really closing the chapter to leave it open for the future.” “But I think “I won't be releasing music for a while,” he said in an interview with Complex.

If he were to release a record this year, he would join his sister and father who have released music throughout the year. Willow released a record called “Empathogen,” while Will Smith revived his rap career with the single “Work of Art.”
