Background and release

edit

On June 6, 2019, Michaels announced the release date of the EP.[3][4] She released the EP on June 28, 2019. It serves as a follow-up to her EP Inner Monologue Part 1, released in January 2019.[5] Michaels views both parts as one cohesive and connected album. Originally Michaels intended for Inner Monologue Part 1 to be full of love songs and for Inner Monologue Part 2 to be full of break-up songs, to distinct where she was from where she is now.[6]
