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". 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. Toliver released the lead single of the album, "Tiramisu", on September 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. On January 22, 2026, Toliver revealed the album's release date and shared its cover art. "ATM" was surprise-released as the second and final single the day after. Hours before release, Toliver dropped the official 18-song tracklist.
