On 16 October 2013 , Lloyd told '' Billboard '' that the title of her second studio album is '' Sorry I 'm Late '' . She explained , " I think it has two meanings . ... It 's been a long time since I 've actually done anything new , but for me , it 's as a person . I mean , I 've spent a whole lot of time trying to figure out who I am , and I think everybody goes through that . " In November 2013 , during an interview with Larry King , Lloyd confirmed that she had left Syco Music after she and Cowell disagreed about her career path in music . Lloyd also confirmed that '' Sorry I 'm Late '' , which was originally due for release in November , was pushed back until early 2014 , despite the record being done . She remarked , " My album got pushed back and I 'm not happy about it . It 's all done , but I am currently in the studio for the rest of this week to try and find some more magic . ... It was meant to be coming out in November . Now I think it 's going to be early next year . " The explicit version of the album artwork depicts Lloyd smoking while sitting in a bathtub ; censored pressings of the record remove the smoke . On 20 May 2014 , one week before the release , Lloyd made the album available for online stream on MTV.com . For the album , Lloyd worked with Beth Ditto and Tove Lo . In a July 2014 interview with Digital Spy , Lloyd spoke on being told by L.A. Reid to go back into the studio and create more " magic " . She stated , " I think that sometimes the industry can panic and you have to be ready to take a risk , you know . If you 're not taking a risk then what you have is boring . You do need to go in and find your magic . I 've taken many risks on this album and I did n't need to find any more magic , the album was done , ready and it 's a bit of a pain in the arse that it got delayed . It 's only my fans that suffer , and they have to wait longer for it . So it should have been brought out earlier . " Lloyd confirmed that she would be playing 34 shows across North America on the I Wish Tour as part of the album 's promotion . She began on 6 September 2013 in Washington , D.C. and concluded in Orlando , Florida on 24 May 2014 . Opening acts include Fifth Harmony , Zara Larsson , and Jackson Guthy During the tour Lloyd performed new songs except " Killin ' It " and " Alone with Me "
