 After experiencing multiple delays in the release of Sparks's third album due to RCA refusing to put her in their roster, citing that her acting projects had prevented them from reaching a deal, Sparks was released from her contract from RCA records and eventually signed to Salaam Remi's new label imprint 'Louder than Life', a subsidiary of Sony Music.Remi had previously worked with Sparks on the "Sparkle" film soundtrack.As a result of the new deal, all the material Sparks had previously recorded for her third album under RCA has subsequently been scrapped and had since begun re-recording and writing new material for her third album since January 2014.
