Background and content

Priscilla Block developed a growing fan base through social media with songs like "Thick Thighs" and "PMS". Among these songs was "Just About Over You", which gained such a following that Block was able to sign a recording contract in 2020. Block described her self-titled EP as a project that came from a sensitive place: "This EP is such a vulnerable side of who I am and where I’ve been...It’s my story of falling apart in order to find myself again." The disc was produced by Ross Copperman, along with Robbie Artress, Jake Curry and Justin Johnson.

The EP contained a total of six tracks. These songs were all co-written by Block with other songwriters. Five of the album's tracks featured co-writes from Sarah Jones, while two tracks featured Emily Kroll. Block has described both Jones and Kroll as friends. "there’s something about the three of us girls getting together, where I feel we always write great songs," she told Songwriter Universe.
