Release

The first single "After We Fuck" was released on September 23, 2013. In November 2013, Holiday teased a sampler of the album with four snippets and three full tracks available for download at djbooth.net. The album was announced for a December release, [5] but this was pushed back to January 28, 2014. Guilty Conscience hit number 42 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart on February 14. [6] The second single "Incredible", was sent to urban radio on February 17, 2014.

Inspiration

Three weeks before the album was officially released, J. Holiday explained the concept behind the title, saying:

"I named it Guilty Conscience because it’s basically like a movie. Let’s say, because I do what I do; I’m an R&B artist. So let’s say that if you could put a soundtrack to my life, in the last 5 years, this would be the soundtrack. So it’s kind of like, I’m telling my business. You know what I mean and I didn’t really want to. But it’s going to help when it comes to relationships like love and all of that because it’s like the sh*t really happens. The same way Steve Harvey did the book Act Like A Lady, Think Like A Man. So it’s like the album, like I messed up with my main chick, trying to get with the side-chick. Like she was out there, but I didn’t know. So now I’m learning and I have to go back and fix my relationship because the side-chick got me all tore up. So for instance, like on the title track Guilty Conscience, that’s me talking to my main girl. And now I’m like, where you going, what are you doing, why are you doing this, why are you putting on make-up? You know what I mean and that’s the guilty conscience and what it’s about." [7]
