Decided 2

[1][2][3] It serves as a sequel to his tenth mixtape Decided (2018), and marks his fourth project of 2023, following January's I Rest My Case, April's Don't Try This at Home, and May's Richest Opp.

[4][5] The mixtape features a sole guest appearance from Rod Wave and includes production from Dunk Rock, Lex Luger, Take a Daytrip and TnTXD alongside several other producers.

On November 1, 2023, as a Halloween special, YoungBoy released a track titled "Return of Goldie" which sees him making references to the Jeepers Creepers film series, The Mack, and being compared to the late Tupac Shakur.

[14] AllMusic's Paul Simpson stated that the project is "another reflective, soul-searching set filled with cathartic lyrics about loneliness, family issues, and the struggle of being a public figure with an obsessive fan base".

[15] Writing for Clash, Robin Murray stated that as this is YoungBoy's fourth full-length release of the year, he is "refusing to be hemmed in, he’s gone again and again to the studio, exploring fatherhood, maturity, the poverty of his roots, and the limits of his aspirations".
