The bulk of the album's production was handled by Pop & Oak, [7] with Kehlani also working with many others, including their musical director and producer Jahaan Sweet, who they worked with on their mixtapes.

The album was inspired by TLC's album, CrazySexyCool . [8] Kehlani also cited Natasha Bedingfield, Colbie Caillat, Gwen Stefani, and Pink as the biggest inspirations for the album. [9] They stated that it was "more fun and aggressive" than their earlier work. [10]

[29] Barry Walters of Entertainment Weekly gave the album a grade of B, saying, "haunting highlights like 'Piece of Mind' and 'Everything Is Yours' prove that beneath SSS's padding, there's a succinct, sassy, and sincere album waiting to be slimmed down to Kehlani's own soul-searching essence."
