"I Want U" follows last month's lead single "When She Comes Around", and started to come together in 2019. No Rome explains, "This is the first song me and BJ worked on – that’s when we knew we were gonna make this album together. I wanted to do the lyrics more like talking, storytelling almost, painting the picture of what was happening that moment through lyrics."
It’s All Smiles, which was recorded in a Manila apartment during the pandemic, is co-produced by No Rome, BJ Burton (Kanye West, Bon Iver, Charli XCX) and George Daniel (The 1975).
