Singles and promotion

On March 14, 2025, during Toliver's performance at the Time Nightclub in Costa Mesa, California, he teased that he would be releasing a new album later in the year: "I don't wanna stop, I might drop this year, fuck it," he said to an excited crowd. "Might say, 'Fuck it' and drop a whole 'nother album on these niggas. I might say fuck it and drop a whole 'nother beautiful project on these niggas".[3] He then confirmed that he will be releasing a new album later in the year in an interview with Fault Magazine on July 25, which was postponed to the next year for unknown reasons.[4] Toliver released the lead single of the album, "Tiramisu", on September 5.[5] The title of the album was revealed through merchandise that was given to fans at his pop-up event at ComplexCon on October 25, where he debuted his new sneaker line in collaboration with Reebok and Billionaire Boys Club called the Ice Cream Board Flips.[6] On January 22, 2026, Toliver revealed the album's release date and shared its cover art.[7] Hours before release, Toliver revealed the official 18-song tracklist.[8]
