Lizzo recently told Apple Music's Zane Lowe about her hope for the album.

"I'm writing songs about love from every direction, and I hope that I can turn a little bit of the fear that's been running rampant in this world, energetically into love," Lizzo said. "That's the point. I had a lot of fear, and I had to do the work on myself, and this music is some of that work in turning that fear into love. I hope that when people listen to this album, it makes their day just a little bit better, a little bit more filled with love.”

Lizzo has made multiple high-profile public appearances recently. On April 16, she was the host and musical guest on Saturday Night Live.

Then, on Friday, she joined Styles —the former One Direction star — on stage at Coachella, where the pair teamed up on a duet of Gloria Gaynor's disco anthem "I Will Survive" and of the One Direction hit "What Makes You Beautiful"
