Certified Lover Boy was first announced in August 2020 along with the release of the video for "Laugh Now, Cry Later" featuring Lil Durk. It was initially planned for release in January 2021, but was delayed after Drake suffered a leg injury. Instead, Drake shared the three-track EP Scary Hours II.
