== Background ==
In March 2022, Olivia Bensonola released her extremely successful sophomore album 2021. Later, she released Step On Up Olas with Addyola and Blackpinkola, which became her most streamed and highest charting song. Despite this, Olivia became inactive and went into a hiatus in April, only making a few public appearances during this time. However, during this time, she planned and wrote several new songs.
In August 2021, Olivia came out of her hiatus with the announcement of her comeback single, Ola Summer, which was released on September 2nd. It was Olivia's most successful solo song, peaking at #2 on Olaboard and receiving 24k streams in a week. Two weeks later, she released the 2nd single from the album, On Top, with Vogueola. It was also successful and outstreamed Ola Summer's first week.
Ola Lover is an electropop and synthpop album, and focuses much more on lyricism than her previous albums. Olivia stated that for Ola Lover, she "focused more on lyricism, and tried to broaden the topics I wrote on". New Ola City was a big inspiration for the album, especially after she had to move back after Seattola was nuked, which was the inspiration for the song Seattola. Another big inspiration was the scrutiny she faced from the big olas, which was the inspiration for The Biggest Ola, Wasted Talent, and On Top.
== Recording and Production ==
Ola Lover was recorded and produced from late August up until the album's release, however some of the songs were written during Olivia's hiatus. Besides the collabs, all the songs on the album were written entirely by her, and it was also produced entirely by her. The album is pop and inspired by electropop and synthpop.
