In a recent interview with Entertainment Weekly, the Detroit emcee revealed that his fourth album was inspired by the idea of rebirth. "That's not something that people expect from a Big Sean project, so I'm happy we are delivering something unexpected. I'm excited to push the culture and push my artistry to the limit," he told the news outlet.
Prior to announcing the album's release, Sean unleashed his new single "Moves". In the Fuse 100-produced song, Sean talks about not being intimidated by his competitor as he raps, "I take the work, flip it, acrobatic/ Got a little time and a lot of talent/ Do a little talking and a lot of action/ Seen the competition, hmm.. not a challenge."
He also criticizes music industry by claiming that it produces artists who don't have longevity. He raps, "Motherf**k the whole industry/ Half of these ni**as my mini-me's/ I got this b***h going off more than breaking and entering/ You hot for a minute, me/ I make the s**t that last for infinity."
Along with "Moves", "Bounce Back" has been confirmed to appear on "I Decided". It's unclear if his other recent songs, including "No More Interview" and "Living Single" featuring Chance the Rapper, will also make the final tracklist.
Earlier this year, Sean revealed that he and Jhene Aiko were working on new material for TWENTY88. Sean took to Twitter in November to confirm that TWENTY88's second album was set for release in 2017.
