    Background

    In August 2013, it was reported that songwriter Elijah Blake started working with Cole on her sixth studio album.

    BET.[6]
    Instead, the show premiered in February 2015.

    Singles

    On March 15, 2014, Cole took to Instagram to play snippets from her upcoming album. Along the snippets was club banger, "Rick James" (featuring Juicy J).[7] The single premiered on Power 105's morning show, The Breakfast Club, but it was released on digital retailers three months later on June 3, later than "Next Time (Won't Give My Heart Away)" thus becoming the second single, despite having earlier premiere.

    On March 20, 2014, Cole's single "Next Time (Won't Give My Heart Away)" was released on her SoundCloud. The single was released on iTunes on March 31, 2014, thus becoming the first digital single of the project. The music videos for both of the songs were released in April.

    In July 2014, the third single "She" produced by

    DJ Mustard
    was released.

    She released a promotional single "I Remember (Part 2)" on September 23, 2014. It is the sequel to her single "I Remember". The music video was released on October 21, 2014.[8]
