Plans about a joint album by Jay-Z and Beyonce were announced by Jay-Z during an interview with The New York Times in 2017 when he said that they used "art almost like a therapy session" to create new music. However, since they also worked on their respective albums 4:44 and Lemonade, and Beyoncé's music progressed more rapidly, the project was temporarily stopped. Rumours about the collaborative project began emerging in March 2018 when the couple announced their On the Run II Tour.
