On September 2, 2008, BoA's label officially announced that she would be entering the US market under their subsidiary label. On September 10, a press conference was held at the Seoul Imperial Palace Hotel to further clarify her plans. With the album, BoA hoped to become a "world-renowned entertainer" in the vein of Janet Jackson.

For the album, BoA worked with well-known music producers such as Bloodshy & Avant, Brian Kennedy and Sean Garrett. The recording of the album took place in Thailand, Australia, Atlanta and Los Angeles.
