Neon is the fourth studio album by British R&B singer Jay Sean. The album was released on 30 July 2013, by Cash Money Records and distributed by Republic Records. The album features guest appearances from Busta Rhymes, Ace Hood and Rick Ross.

Jay Sean began working on his fourth album and second with Cash Money Records under the name Freeze Time in July 2010. At the time, he stated that he had completed roughly 75 percent of the album and that guests included Lil Wayne, Pitbull and Nicki Minaj. Sean also co-headlined with Joe Jonas on the Joe Jonas & Jay Sean Tour with JoJo as the opening act. Sean released a mixtape titled The Mistress in September 2011 and a Japan exclusive album titled Hit the Lights in January 2012.

But in February 2012, during an interview with Clevvermusic, when Jay Sean was asked about his long delayed fourth studio album he said "Let me tell you what happened with, Freeze Time. I curse myself with it because it got frozen in time and didn't come out." He further added "and guess what, I've changed the name and scrapped it; I'm done with Freeze Time; I'm over Freeze Time. The album is coming out which is done, finito, in a few months".

In February 2013, Jay Sean announced he would be changing the title of the album again from Worth It all to Neon. In April 2013, it was announced that the album had been pushed back from 21 May 2013, until 25 June 2013. In June 2013, the album was pushed back again until 23 July 2013. On 28 June 2013, Jay Sean announced on his official Facebook page that the album would finally be released on 30 July 2013, with the iTunes pre-order being available on 9 July 2013. In addition, he also announced the album's track listing and revealed the album cover.
