That's the kind of thing that I'm into. That influence is stronger on this album."[3] Album title was announced by Lott on 17 September, she also stated that it will include collaborations with Stevie Wonder on harmonica and John Legend on piano.[4] Lott revealed that album is titled after one of her all-time favourite songs "Be Young, Be Foolish, Be Happy", adding "It’s a message that I’ve always really liked and I think it’s important that need to people remember, it’s just motivating and inspirational".[5] Album cover was premiered on 5 October.
