In December, the “Celebrity” singer shared that her upcoming album is an ode to her “entire 20s.”
She told GQ magazine, “Since I debuted at 16, people have watched over the latter half of my teens, but now, they will have to 'read to the end' of my entire 20s.
“This is an album I wanted to make to say my goodbye greetings to those who have watched over my 20s and to say thanks to those who will watch until the very end of it.”
IU added, “I want to have a glamorous goodbye. Glamorous and without any sadness.”
