She then announced the release of the extended-play along with the release of the lead single "Lola" released on 8 November 2019. The extended-play was set for release on 15 November 2019 but would be delayed two times for unknown reasons, before being officially released on 2 December 2019.

Mike Nied of Idolator points out that, "from start to finish, Wicked Lips is more proof that Iggy is doing things her own way. And that’s a very good thing. While 'Lola' is clearly the standout, every other track is a testament to her confidence and ability to craft bops."[6] Daniel Spielberger of HipHopDX notices that "Azalea goes for a new approach: instead of getting bogged down by her past controversies, she dips her toes into various genres to see if she can regain her commercial mojo. But ultimately, the songs on Wicked Lips sound like skeletal homages to other artists' more interesting work" and concludes that, "though it's a slight improvement from her second album, Wicked Lips still shows that Azalea can't find her own lane. This EP has her settling for mediocrity and resting comfortably in the discount bin."[5]
