Background

The album serves as the sequel to Yung Bleu's 2020 EP Love Scars: The 5 Stages of Emotions. [1] Shortly before the album's release, Yung Bleu wrote to his fans on social media about the project:

"Without you I am nothing. [...] I love to express myself to you because you never judge me! We got our heart broke together! We healed together. I helped you, and you helped me. It's like our souls are connected somehow. So when I say I love my fans I really do love y'all. Going Through the ups, the downs. We've grown together. Y'all loved my voice, my family. My story. So whether you been here since 2017 or since 'Love Scars Part 1!' Just understand y'all mean alot to me. Music is definitely therapeutic. Maybe we all need a little therapy. So here I am, again! Exposing myself again. Still here. Exposing my flaws only because you made me feel comfortable enough to do so. Here I am, helping to heal while y'all help to heal me. We all got Love Scars. #EnjoyMyPain #EnjoyMyStory Here I am, unfiltered." [2]
