[2] Cabello appeared in an interview by Alexandra Cooper of Call Her Daddy, where she revealed her album is "really sitting in the discomfort of things and realizing there's not gonna be a neat, in-a-box answer.

[9] According to Sirius XM, Cabello described the album as having "Miami baddie energy" and noted that it contains "things that you haven't heard from [her] before" and moments that are sonically and lyrically unique.

[13] "Hot Uptown", featuring Canadian rapper Drake, impacted US contemporary hit radio as the album's third single on June 28, 2024.

[15] She then appeared as a speaker at the guest panel of American Express and F1 Academy's event, "A Celebration of Women with Drive", on May 1—where she performed an acoustic version of "I Luv It" and the then-unreleased album track "Twentysomethings".

[19][20] Following the album's release, she performed at Tinderbox in Odense,[21] on the Other Stage at Glastonbury,[22] at Hera HSBC in Mexico City,[23] and the iHeartRadio Music Festival in Las Vegas, between June and September 2024.

[24] Cabello's festival performances' production consisted of "dancers [in] Cyberdog-esque outfits",[25] "robotic camera dog[s]",[26] "BMX riders [on] skate ramps",[20] "[melting] ice [pops]", and "a stage filled with popular playground games".

[31] By the end of September, she performed stripped renditions of "Godspeed", "June Gloom" and Addison Rae's "Diet Pepsi" on the Live Lounge.

[32] A series of official Vevo live performances of several songs from the album, filmed "indoors for a 90s, bubble-gum pink vibe", was released throughout October.

Writing for The Guardian, Alexis Petridis opined that the album's direction compared to Cabello's earlier discography was "pretty radical to the point of being occasionally baffling".

[37] In Rolling Stone, Maura Johnston noted that Cabello embraces a "weirdo" persona, describing the album as an experimental departure from her previous work.

[40] NME reviewer Nick Levine highlighted the album's "party girl rebrand" and described its songs as "scrappy, intriguing earworms".
