Background and development

Upon signing with Star Music in December 2016, it was announced that she will release an album in the third quarter of 2017, but was delayed a few times. Executive producer Jonathan Manalo shared that the concept was a throwback to 90's R&B. The label first intended to release an extended play.

The album is composed mostly of R&B ballads and soul with the a few upbeat and mid-tempo tracks. Kyla included one cover in the album, South Border's "Sa'yo" featuring its songwriter Jay Durias. It also contains four bonus tracks, which are previously recorded but unreleased songs by Kyla: her theme song renditions of "Till I Met You" and "On The Wings Of Love" and her Himig Handog interpretations of "Monumento" and "Tayo Na Lang Kasi."

On January 15, 2018, Star Music announced that Kyla will have double-lead singles with a full-length album release in March 2018. The first lead single, "Only Gonna Love You," was released on January 19, while the second lead single, "Fix You And Me" was released on February 2. Her album release was again delayed from March 17, 2018, to April due to "health reasons."^[1][2]
