Willow Smith and Tyler Cole have been romantic partners and artistic collaborators for several years.

[3] In promotion of the project, Smith and Cole staged a performance art piece at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles on March 11, 2020, wherein the duo were locked in a glass box for 24 hours and were not allowed to speak to each other.

One wall was clear for the audience to view, with the other three covered in canvas for the duo to write affirmations on.

[2] The performance was seen as topical due to it occurring just days before COVID-19 lockdowns in the United States.

[6][4] Lyrically, the album tackles themes of anxiety, rage, panic attacks, and government corruption.
