My One (album)

My One is the sixth studio album by BJAYE. It was released through Republic Records on July 21, 2034. The album was recorded between March 2032 and May 2034.
==Background==
Following the release of BJAYE's fifth studio album Everynight on April 2, 2032, which met with very positive reviews, later that month, in an interview with Rolling Stone, BJAYE stated that he had been writing and working on his sixth studio album and had already completed three songs and 2 for a possible deluxe edition. Recording sessions began in March 2032. He had a meeting with Republic Records to discuss the album that same month. BJAYE was originally aiming at releasing the album around August 2034, but he said due to the wedding, and this album being dedicated towards his fiancee, he aimed the release date the day before the wedding. The Songs were recorded during periods of time since, BJAYE was on the Locations Tour
BJAYE sought for My One to sound as "an evolution" from his fourth album " Locations" (2030); exploring more sexually mature and diverse lyrical content and musical styles. Primarily a pop and R&B record, plus expanding with his sound, My One expands on the 1990s- 2000-2020s retro-R&B style of its predecessor, while also approaching previous genres such as EDM, electropop, synth-pop, and dance-pop, with hip-hop & rap. He stated: " i'm trying to explore deeply into other genres that run in Pop, R&B, & Hip-Hop sound." The Album is primarily inspired by 1989 by Taylor Swift & My Everything by Ariana Grande.
In January 2034, BJAYE stated in late February that the album name is primarily an inspiration to a nickname that he gave to his significant other and wanted to name it because this album significantly dives in deep about his love life and how it's dedicated towards marriage. He stated that the meaning of the album: "this is album primarily is sought to become a continuation of my love life from Locations which meant you fount new love. But My One talks more about how your ready to move on a bigger part in your relationship with your partner and your ready to make big changes and big decisions, and these mainly these songs on this album talks mostly about it."
In the end of March, BJAYE spoke about the lead single he was going to choose for the album, He talked about how it was very easy on choosing the single but it was worth it. He Originally wanted the song lead single to be the title track but chose another song that had a more natural sound of his with is Pop, mixed with Trap & Hip-Hop, which was "Better With U". On April 3, 2034, BJAYE announced his lead single, "Better With U", and that it was going to be released at the end of the month "April 28, 2034", and it will be featured with a well know friend of his.
