In lyric, Smith's songs will have a deeper and wider meaning with themes about sex, lies, passion, self-expression and imperfections.
"This album feels like emotional, sexual, spiritual freedom. It's so beautiful to be able to sing freely again. Surprisingly, it feels like my first recording and it feels like a transition to adulthood," Smith was quoted as saying by Variety, Tuesday, October 18.
The album, which was recorded in Jamaica, Los Angeles, and London, begins with the song Unholy, featuring Kim Petras. The song was successful on the charts, being second on the Billboard Hot 100 or behind Steve Lacy's Bad Habits.
