Background
The EP was announced after the conclusion of Ng's first tour and release of his cover single "Hey Ya". As with his previous songs, the entirety of the EP was written and produced by Ng in his bedroom. During production, Ng created three different versions of "drugs" and two versions of "rock + roll". By contrast, "and" was written in "a day or two" and became one of the fastest songs he produced. The songs drew on a combination of past experiences.
Ng released "sex" and "drugs" on 10 June and 14 July 2016 respectively as the two singles from the EP, with the former garnering praise from the singer Lorde who described "sex" as "messy and emotional and twitchy and kind of in love and definitely freaked out as that situation feels." Billboard live streamed "drugs" on Facebook and released the single exclusively on their platform a day earlier than the worldwide release date.
The songs "Fumes", "Circles" and "XO" are updated versions of his previous songs made under his old alias The Eden Project, with "Fumes" featuring a collaboration with American musician Gnash. Ng stated that the EP "is more of a realization than a journey", while also noting, "The songs are all intertwined, but in different ways."
