Bazzi released several tracks in 2016 and 2017, including "Alone", "Beautiful", and "Sober."[3][4] In October 2017, he released "Mine" via Atlantic Records.[5][6] That song increased in popularity after it was used as a Snapchat lens filter in January 2018. It peaked at number 11 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.[7] On March 22, 2018, Bazzi announced the release date for his debut album as April 12. This came after the release of three more singles, "Why?", "Gone", and "Honest".[8][9] On August 2, 2018, he released a remix of "Beautiful" featuring Cuban-American singer Camila Cabello.
