The ComplexCon show was essentially a listening party that included a stage with cars and backup dancers. Pharrell told the audience that the track "Don't Do It", which also features Kendrick Lamar, was inspired by the police shooting death of Keith Lamont Scott in September 2016.

Before "Lemon", the group's last music was three tracks for the 2014 Spongebob movie, and their last album proper was released in 2010.
