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]
