The band reunited with So So Def label head Jermaine Dupri and his Bryan-Michael Cox to work on the majority of the album.

Additional collaborators include Tha Cornaboyz, Gary Smith, Bert Young, Jason Rome, and Ollie Woods.

Jagged Little Thrill eventually reached Platinum status in the United States and sold more than 1.5 million copies domestically.
