“Doing this independently has been the most challenging yet rewarding process I've ever experienced," said Pope. "Three and a half years of working on this. Doing anything on your own takes a different kind of discipline and practice -- being your own champion, your own resource. I've been writing and producing music since I was 13, but putting together a complete body of music and visuals that reflect the “me” now was a different kind of challenge. Thank you from the deepest part of my heart for all of the support and love in this moment. Thank you to all the creatives who worked on this alongside me for literal years. Now we set it all free — and listen.”

Track List:

• U, LOST
• WHAT I GOTTA DO
• WANT, U
• CITY2CITY
• FINE
• U, LOST (PROM EDITION)
