Background and promotion


Big Sean and Hit-Boy have extensively collaborated before the release of the EP. On October 28, 2021, both artists announced the EP, with Sean admitting that he planned to release only one single the same day as the EP was released, but decided to release five songs, which would be part of an EP.[2] The tracklist was revealed hours later.[3] The two artists released the closing track, "What a Life", on October 22, 2021, with a music video.[4]
