Background
Quando Rondo first teased the album in an Instagram post on February 8, 2023, in which he also announced an accompanying documentary. The album is dedicated to Lul Pab, one of Quando's closest friends who was shot and killed in August 2022. He officially announced the album, along with its cover art and track listing, on March 10, 2023. The album's lyrical content differs from his typical gang- and street-related themes; on the album, he raps about the pain he has endured from seeing his friends die and the process of his mental recovery, which inspired the album's title.
