Glover's manager, Wolf Taylor, spoke to Billboard about the release:
“Artists should never be in the position where the industry hinders their creative output...Our goal is to give our artists the ability to release content when and where they want. Partnering with Stem has allowed us to maintain our major label resources while providing us with a platform to independently release our special projects.”
