Development

edit

After finishing fourth on The X Factor USA, Marcus (alongside Chris Rene and Astro) had been signed to Epic Records. He recorded a mild single called "Won't Make a Fool Out of You" for the soundtrack of 2012's Think Like a Man. He later made an official debut single called "In & Out", featuring rapper Wale. Marcus stated that he did not only want to show his R&B style on the album, but he also wanted to "impress the ladies".

Composition

The extended play contains musical elements from artists such as Michael Jackson, Janet Jackson and Usher.
