Background
As early as 2011,Hilson had shared she had been working on a third album,but no release occurred. [2] In 2016,a press release announced the album would be called L.I.A.R and would be preceded by a single called "Again". Hilson said the press release was only partly correct,and that the album was not yet ready for release but there was a song on it called "Again". [3] In a 2016 Billboard article celebrating the success of their production "Oui" for Jeremih,producers Needlz &Donut teased an "80s-infused" potential single for a forthcoming Hilson album,which was subsequently shelved. [4]
In March 2025,Hilson posted a series of videos on Instagram,opining on her return to the music industry,"I just don't want to put my life or my art in the hands of people who don't give a fuck about me [...] The thing is,I don’t fear being human —I love being human in my own hands. I fear being human in their hands [...] I’d love nothing more than to release this incredible music I've been 'sitting on. There have been so many blockages I have constantly fought myself to not directly speak about". [5] Upon the announcement of We Need to Talk's imminent release and tracklisting,Hilson shared,"I have music to last for a very long time. The hardest thing was figuring out what kind of projects I want to put out after this. I'm inspired by different stuff every couple of years. But I got plenty of music to work with in the near future. I expect to flood the market. That's what I want to do." [6] The album was released by Hilson's own label Audible Art Club,in partnership with Create Music Group. [7] Two additional parts of the album are expected to follow in the future including:We Need to Talk:Drama and We Need to Talk:Redemption. [8]
