The album is her debut album with Atlantic after successfully completing her recording contract with RCA Records, which she had won as the first American Idol winner. The album was preceded by the dual release of the singles "Love So Soft" and "Move You" on September 7, 2017. It debuted on the Billboard 200 at number two, with 79,000 album-equivalent units sold, 68,000 of which were from traditional album sales.
Background
After reissuing her seventh studio album, Piece by Piece, along with its companion remix album in 2016, Clarkson successfully completed the terms of her recording contract with RCA Records and 19 Recordings which she had signed as a winning prize after winning the inaugural season of the television series American Idol in 2002. As opposed to the previous contract structure where 19 held the phonographic rights to the master recordings, RCA executives Peter Edge and Tom Corson revealed their intentions to sign Clarkson directly to the label without 19's involvement. Their renewal offer would include a three-album deal with a US$1 million advance per album, in contrast to the six-album limit from the previous contract with a US$500,000 incentive per record. Corson also admitted that Clarkson's relationship with Sony Music executive Clive Davis might prove to be a nuance to the offer.
Despite remarking that her structure with Edge and Corson on the label proved to be successful, Clarkson had second thoughts about renewing the contract, which she recalled as an "arranged marriage". As result, her management brokered a meeting with Atlantic Records executives Craig Kallman and Julie Greenwald along with Warner Music Nashville executive John Esposito, who in turn offered her a long-term worldwide deal with a larger creative freedom. On June 24, 2016, Warner Music Group announced that Clarkson had signed a long-term worldwide recording contract with Atlantic and will immediately work on a soul and R&B album set to be released the following year. The move to Atlantic also reunited her with Pete Ganbarg, who had previously did A&R work for her fourth studio album All I Ever Wanted (2009). Later that year, Clarkson made her Atlantic debut appearance by releasing a cover version of the Hamilton Broadway musical number "It's Quiet Uptown", which is featured on The Hamilton Mixtape.

on Since U Been Gone
This song resonates with me the most right now since as recent as last Sunday, I was set free from a relationship with a man like this.
Here's the thing, we started out friends
It was cool but IT WAS ALL PRETEND [on HIS part]
HOW COME I'D NEVER HEAR YOU SAY
"I just wanna be with you"?
Guess YOU never felt that way [(But HE expected me to feel that way)]
Such an amazing song!

We're walking on the ocean, turning water into wine
