Jamie Foxx called the album “the fulfillment of a lifelong dream.”

“Music has been my first love, but the way my career was going, I had to keep my day job,” Foxx told JET magazine. “But, it was a stroke of luck and fortune that I was able to be on a record with Kanye West a couple of times and had a couple of No. 1 singles. I quietly worked on this record and I believe I have something outstanding.”

Jamie Foxx co-wrote six songs on the album, including “Heaven” and “Wish U Were Here.” Produced by Babyface, “Heaven” is dedicated to Jamie’s daughter, Corinne. “Wish U Were Here” pays tribute to his beloved grandmother who adopted and raised Foxx.
