Background and release

On January 25, 2018, Bellion teased a snippet of an upcoming song on an Instagram video. On April 16, Bellion began teasing his next album with 4 pictures captioned with "GSP". He later changed the name of his Instagram to the name of his touring group, "Beautiful Mind".

On October 9, Bellion posted a photo to his social media accounts from "GSP Staff", stating: "Tomorrow, Headmaster Stormzy requests your presence for an orientation ceremony in the main atrium. Time: 3:00 pm EST."[4] The following day he announced his second studio album Glory Sound Prep on his Twitter account, set to be released on November 9.[3] On October 17, he released a preview on his social media accounts of the first single from the album, "Conversations with My Wife", which was released two days later.[5][6] The following week, he released a preview on his social media accounts of the second promotional single, "JT", and released it on October 26.[7] "Stupid Deep", the third promotional single from the album, was released on November 2.[8]

In a 2019 Genius: For the Record Interview with Rob Markman, Jon explained that Glory Sound Prep is also the name of a production group composed of himself, Mark Williams, and Raul Cubina.[9] He also explained that he decided not to heavily promote the album after getting so worn out from promoting his previous album, The Human Condition. Leaving the audience to sit with and digest the album, he believes, is very valuable.

In 2022 Jon Bellion signed an upcoming artist after the release of his debut EP. The signee is quoted saying, "Glory Sound Prep was the blueprint that I looked to while creating my debut EP." Most recent news on the artist comes in the form of a blog posted on "ROSELINE.collective" titled, "NAKED.".[10] The blog contained a single image and what would appear to be children's story. The story read, "Once upon a time there was a boy named Adam. Adam was on a very important mission! He wanted to grow a magnificent garden, but where to start? “I’ll look for seeds!” he said gleefully! So off he went into The Magic Forest on his quest for the perfect seed! On his journey Adam would see many new things. He saw rabbits and toads, lions and does, Even turtles that sing and some mushrooms that glow! But soon he grew lost and with no where to go; he dropped to his knees and he pleaded for hope. He fell to his dreams but then soon he awoke. He awoke by a tree; a tree fifty trees old. An Evergreen tree; with the seed that he’d grow."
