Background

Since the release of his second studio album Voicenotes (2018), Puth released and was featured on a number of singles between 2019 and 2021. He dropped three standalone singles that were meant for the album in 2019; "I Warned Myself", "Mother", and "Cheating on You". He dropped two more standalone singles in 2020; "Girlfriend", and "Hard on Yourself", the latter featuring Blackbear. He also released "Free" as a single from the 2020 film The One and Only Ivan. Puth featured in "Summer Feelings" with Lennon Stella for the soundtrack for the 2020 film Scoob!, and featured on singles with Jvke, Sasha Alex Sloan, and Elton John. He also appeared on the remix of Gabby Barrett's single "I Hope", which helped the song peak at number three on the Billboard Hot 100, becoming Puth's fourth top ten hit.

After deciding to scrap the original version of his third album in 2020 due to poor performances and reviews of the singles he had released since Voicenotes, Puth took a moment to "recalibrate", and became inspired to tease the makings of the songs he was making, causing him to tease nearly the entire album on TikTok, which made several of the songs go viral on the app.[4] Puth stated that he almost named the album Conversation with Myself due to the isolation caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.[5]
