When discussing the inspiration behind the album, Bailey told Billboard, “It’s what a summer fling feels and tastes like.

The upcoming LP is set to have 16 tracks and features, including from Ty Dolla $ign (“Might As Well”), Anderson Paak (“Favorite”), YG Marley (“Never Let You Go”), her sister Halle Bailey (“Want Me”), and Jeremih (“Shake”).

The actress shared an album teaser on her social media. The caption states, “songs from my diary, inspired by my favorite island. trouble in paradise and a few visuals to go along with, will be yours at midnight.”

Recently, the songwriter had a photoshoot and interview with HelloBeautiful to promote her new album. The publication released a behind-the-scenes photoshoot on its website. Subsequently, Bailey answered some questions about the magazine, which you can watch here.
