Background
When speaking on the album's sound, Tyla described it as an "experimental album", appearing to be inclusive of genre styles such as amapiano as well as possibly fusing Western pop, hip hop and R&B. She told Capital Xtra in October 2023 that she had been recording the album for over two years and that it would be primarily be "popiano", a blend of the amapiano and pop genres. Part of the album was recorded in Portland, Jamaica.
