Background

Throughout the 2020s, Jill Scott made appearances on various artists' tracks, notably Alicia Keys, Camper, Kehlani, Sir, Teyana Taylor, Ty Dolla Sign and Tyla. She also embarked on multiple tours throughout the early 2020s to celebrate the 20th anniversary of her debut studio album Who Is Jill Scott?: Words and Sounds Vol. 1 (2000). On June 1, 2024, Scott headlined the Roots Picnic music festival and performed an unreleased song with rapper Tierra Whack, which she also previewed prior to announcing her album in 2025. [3]

On December 22, 2025, Jill Scott posted a promotional video on her Instagram account hinting at new music for the following year. In the video, she explained her process and her hiatus from music since her last studio album Woman (2015). "My process kind of works like this: I wait to be inspired," Scott said in the video. "And that takes time and patience [un]til the words are dripping out of my mouth." Along with the video, Scott previewed the first single for the project, "Beautiful People." [4]
