The album was supported by four singles: "Here We Go (Uh Oh)", "Most Beautiful Design", "Taste" and "You"; of which the former received a Gold certification by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).

The album received acclaim from music critics, with many of whom praising Coco's vocal delivery and the album's cohesiveness and production.

Background

On August 16, 2024, Jones released promotional single "Sweep It Up", co-written alongside Leon Thomas III and Bizzy Crook, and produced by London on da Track, Ray Keys, Jeremy “J Dot” Jones and CashMoneyAP.^[2] On February 20, 2025, Jones officially announced the release of the album via Billboard.^[3]

Critical reception

The album was met with acclaim. Gary Gerard Hamilton from Associated Press lauded the album as "fearless", "travers[ing] through a spectrum of R&B sonics and vibes, from introspective to seductive, [while] not shying away from any of the pressure that can come with attempting to replicate the success of a song like “ICU.”^[1] It also received positive reviews from NME and Rolling Stone.^[4]^[5]
