The album combines both ballads and upbeat songs, with several serving as a declaration of equality in romantic relationships.

The first, "I Do (Wanna Get Close To You)", features Loon and was a moderate chart hit, peaking at number 58 on the Billboard Hot 100 and at 13 in New Zealand.

The album's release was hindered by the departure of member Naturi Naughton, who controversially left the group in August 2002 during promotions for "I Do (Wanna Get Close To You)".

3LW announced in February 2002 that they had recorded 10 tracks for their sophomore studio album to be titled A Girl Can Mack.

"[7][8] After the second single released from the album, "Neva Get Enuf", underperformed, auditions were held across the country for a new third member.

Production, courtesy of P. Diddy, the Full Force crew, and Mario Winans, among others, is witty and imaginative."

"[16] Natasha Washington, writing for The Oklahoman wrote that A Girl Can Mack "shows a mature 3LW."

She noted that the band "adds high-energy dance tracks such as "Leave" and "Meet Me at the Crib," while ballads including "Crazy" and "More Than Friends" showcase sultry vocals and lush melodies.
