On May 27, 2022, Polo G announced the first single "Distraction" with a trailer featuring YouTuber Kai Cenat. "Distraction" was released on June 3, 2022. It charted at number 39 on the Billboard Hot 100. It was also confirmed that his upcoming album would feature production entirely from Southside. In August 2023, Polo G teased the album's release by setting up posters containing lyrics with the album's title Hood Poet under each one. On August 15, 2023, he officially announced the album's release, as well as a single titled "Barely Holdin' On", with the album to release on September 15, 2023. He also launched a 24-hour live stream to promote the album. The album's second single "Barely Holdin' On" was released on August 18, 2023. It peaked at number 68 on the Billboard Hot 100. On the day he released "Barely Holdin' On," he announced that he was contemplating retirement from music after he releases the album. Later that month, he was arrested. This caused him to postpone the release of the album until further notice. A tour was also planned, but those dates were never affected by those charges.
