Background

In December 2019, Uchis released the intended lead single from the album, "Solita", which would later be demoted to a stand-alone single. In April 2020, the EP, To Feel Alive, was released as Uchis was not able to issue her second studio album. The EP was recorded entirely in isolation amidst the COVID-19 pandemic. Uchis announced the album through her social medias, alongside its cover art, title and guest appearances on November 5, 2020.[9]
