An R&B album blended with trap music and soul, Breezy predominantly explores romantic, sexual, swaggering and melancholic themes.

Breezy was preceded by three singles; "Iffy", "WE (Warm Embrace)" and "Call Me Every Day", with the latter achieving the highest commercial success among them.

[2][14] The standard edition of Breezy, featuring 23 tracks, marks a departure from the singer's previous, more extensive double-disc projects Heartbreak on a Full Moon and Indigo.

Breezy opens with the hip hop track "Till the Wheels Fall Off", featuring Lil Durk and Capella Grey, that runs for 5 minutes and 14 seconds, having a chorus that Brown delivers with a lower vocal register and "intense" harmonies.

[15] Lyrically, on the song the artists give a hopeful introspection over their emotional struggles caused by their personal life's harshest challenges.

[16] The second track "Catch a Body", featuring Fivio Foreign, mixes R&B and drill music, containing swaggering lyrics.

[15] On "Possessive" Yung Bleu, Lil Wayne and Brown explore themes of jealousy, breakup and lovesickness, through a tone that was described by Miracle Oyedeji of The Inquirer as a "mixture of loving and nagging".

In the song, Brown personifies drugs as a toxic lover—one who continually inflicts pain yet remains an inseparable part of his emotional landscape.

[15] Keithan Samuels of Rated R&B commented its lyrical content saying that it "shows the tender side of Brown as he aims to sexually please his stressed-out partner the best way he can".

[15] The album's standard edition ends with "Luckiest Man", a song where Brown croons his confidence of wanting to spend the rest of his life with his loved one.

[18] The cover art consists of a black and white image of the back of Brown's head, with the album's title shaved into his hair.

[23] On November 4, 2019, Brown posted on his Instagram account three videos featuring snippets from songs that he had recently written and recorded, supposedly called "Get Naked", "Hit My Line" and "Stressed".

[24] A couple months following the release of his collaborative mixtape with Young Thug, Slime & B, on July 9, 2020, he announced that the name of his tenth album would be Breezy, making a reference to his stage nickname.

[26] In November, Brown created an OnlyFans account, where he posted snippets from the songs "Sleep at Night" and "Warm Embarce", during his travel in Tulum, Mexico.

[37] Nine days later he revealed Breezy's release date, June 24, along with its cover art, and a list of features including Lil Wayne, Blxst, H.E.R., Ella Mai, Jack Harlow, Tory Lanez, Fivio Foreign, Yung Bleu, EST Gee and Wizkid, hinting that more features could be on the album.

[42] Few days prior to the album's release, Brown promoted it doing various radio interviews and podcasts located at his Los Angeles house.
