Background and promotion

edit

Since 2017, Japanese comedian Blouson Chiemi started to use "Dirty Work" as the background music of her popular comedy routine,[2] which led the song to peak number four on the Japan Hot 100 chart.[3] The song was certified platinum in the country.[4] Later, Mahone announced the release of his debut studio album exclusively in the country. It also included his collaborations "Lady" with Pitbull and "Creatures of the Night" with Hardwell which reached the number one position on the US Billboard Dance Club Songs chart.[5][6]

Mahone released a new track, "Perfect Beauty" on September 20, 2017, featuring Bobby Biscayne.[7] The song and its music video were released exclusively in Japan.[8] The song was featured in a commercial for the Japanese shampoo "Moist, Diane."[9] On the album's release day, Mahone put out on digital platforms and streaming services two countdown songs internationally: "I Don't Believe You" and "Found You".[10] In support of the album's release, Mahone headlined a Japan tour in 2018.[7]
