What had Vince Staples said about the album prior to release?
Sixteen songs, couple features. Longest album I really ever did, beside Summertime ‘06 being like a double-disc. But I would say it’s my completest thing to this day. I feel like a lot of my work has been an anthology of my neighbourhood and my past, and I think this is kinda the end of that for me. I’m not 18, I’m not 19, I’m not 20: I’m 28. I’ve been blessed to live long enough. I’ve been releasing music for ten years on a major label. I was 18 or 19 when Stolen Youth came out. So, it’s been a minute.

How did Vince come up with the album's title?
During an interview with the portal BigBoyTV, Staples talked about the meaning of the album’s title:
So, basically, I was tryna make something I could pair out with the [personal] growth that [would] also sound catchy, and cool, and stuff like that. […] Everybody’s experience [includes] heartbreak or growth, as I like to say. […] Then, you have another experience: now you’re growing past that [and you’re like], “Okay, this [is] not the person for me, so who comes next? What comes next?” So, I wanted to have this parallel [between] growth and [what] I’ve learned in my community growing up […]: where I am now is much different from where I was as a teenager.
