In 2012, Cashmere Cat released his debut extended play (EP) Mirror Maru, followed by Wedding Bells two years later. During that time, he gained significant coverage and fellow musician Benny Blanco invited him to Los Angeles in January 2013 to collaborate on production and gave him his first concerts in the United States. The former EP's title track was also featured on the soundtrack to Grand Theft Auto V in 2013.
After producing for other artists such as Kanye West, The Weeknd and Ariana Grande, on 26 February 2016, Cashmere announced that he was working on his untitled debut studio album.[3] On August 24, "Wild Love" was previewed on The Weeknd's Instagram profile.[4] Upon the song's release two days later, Cat unveiled the album's original artwork and confirmed that the album would be titled after the song "Wild Love".[5] However, on 10 April 2017, Cashmere officially renamed the album 9, reflecting the song "9 (After Coachella)", and that production was completed.[6] The official tracklist and release date was revealed on Cashmere's Twitter on April 19.[7]
