Background

On December 13, 2016, Mahone announced his upcoming mixtape ForMe+You.^[2] He debuted the lead single, "Lady" featuring Pitbull, at Pitbull's New Year's Revolution concert on December 30,^[3][4] the same day the mixtape would drop.^[5] This was their second collaboration, following 2014's "Mmm Yeah".^[6]

Talking about the recording process with iHeart Radio, Mahone said "Putting ForMe+You together was amazing, because I spent six months in LA, and I recorded probably 90 songs. And, I just picked the best eight songs that I thought would do really well, and put them all together, and made a nice little EP type mixtape project, and put that out for everyone".^[1] Of the sound, Mahone mentioned his intention with the mixtape was to move away from the bubblegum pop he was previously known for, and "incorporate some R&B flavor this time, because that's my personal taste in music".^[7]

Mahone embarked on his headlining tour, A Tour For Me + You, starting on May 31, to June 30, in support of the release of the mixtape.^[8]

Release

"Lady" served as the mixtape's lead and only single, released on February 10, 2017.^[9] It is a remix of the 2001 "Lady (Hear Me Tonight)" by Modjo.^[6] The song reached number one on Billboard's US Dance Club Songs chart.^[10] On June 1, he released a music video for "Better with You".^[11]
