The album was released on September 23, 2022, by Paramount Music and featured 12 tracks, which were sung by Jamila C. Gray, Lil Yachty and Rapsody, who executive produced the soundtrack with 1500 or Nothin' Bobby Francis and Larrance "Rance" Dopson.

Sanaa Lathan, the film's director, roped in Bobby Francis and Larrance "Rance" Dopson from the 1500 or Nothin' to executive produce the soundtrack.

[1] Also joining the team, were North Carolina–based rapper Rapsody, who also recorded and contributed for few of the tracks and wrote all the rhymes of the film.

"[2][3] Jamila C. Gray, the film's protagonist, closely worked with Rapsody to master cadence, breath control and to understand the nuances of rap and pop music, Gray received a playlist from Rapsody, that has classic hip-hop tunes featuring artists like Jay-Z, Lauryn Hill, Mobb Deep and Ms. Jade.

Our job was to build on what that music sounded like and incorporate those words into a cadence and flow for Jamila to perform.
