It debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 and was named the most critically acclaimed album of 2023 by BBC News. Rodrigo described the record as being about 'growing pains' and her identity between ages 18 and 20. Dan Nigro produced all 12 tracks, with Ryan Linvill, Alexander 23, and Ian Kirkpatrick contributing additional production on select songs. Julia Michaels and Amy Allen each receive one co-writing credit; the remaining ten tracks are solely credited to Rodrigo and Nigro.
