Good to Know

Good to Know (stylized in all lowercase) is the fourth studio album by American singer-songwriter JoJo. Released on May 1, 2020, it marked her first studio album since leaving Atlantic Records and launching her own record label imprint, Clover Music, through a joint venture with Warner Records. The album reflects JoJo's efforts to process past experiences and develop a greater sense of self-understanding. Conceived during a period of personal transition, it was shaped by her personal life and was intended to encourage listeners to reflect on their own emotional patterns. Good to Know is a pop and R&B record characterized by slow- to mid-tempo songs, layered vocal harmonies, and an atmospheric production style. Its structure is divided into three thematic sections—moving from escapism and self-numbing behaviors to self-reflection and, ultimately, self-acceptance. Good to Know incorporates bass-driven arrangements, while its lyrics explore themes of independence, sexuality, and introspection. It also contains an R&B-oriented sound and an emphasis on mood over conventional pop structures. Good to Know was supported by the lead single "Man", followed by three promotional singles—"Lonely Hearts", "Comeback", and "Small Things". A deluxe edition featuring additional tracks and an acoustic version were released in 2020, while plans for the Good to Know Tour were canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
