Background
editAccording to Knight, the two spoke of a possible collaboration during their time with supergroup NKOTBSB. Initially, the two were planning to conduct a co-headlining tour, promoting previous and forthcoming solo projects.[2] After the 2011-12 tour, they decided to collaborate on a single, which eventually grew into Knight and Carter completing an entire album.
In April 2014, the duo made an appearance on the American morning show, Good Morning America. During the appearance, they announced their single, album and tour.[3] The show has been described as a big party.[2] Despite being performed in nightclubs and theatres, each show will possess the energy of an arena gig. The two will perform songs from their new album, alongside their solo hits. A homage to boy bands will be performed, as well as a tribute to music that has inspired both Carter and Knight.[2]
