In April 2024, Vanessa Williams announced that she will release her new full-length studio album later in 2024.[3] Williams launched her own record label, Mellian Music, for the release.[4] She worked with songwriter Kipper Jones, who wrote her debut single "The Right Stuff", Chantry Johnson and Kjersti Long.[5] The title was inspired by the book The Legs Are the Last to Go by Diahann Carroll. In an interview for Entertainment Tonight, Williams said: "Diahann played my mother in a movie I produced, The Courage to Love, and has always been a huge inspiration for me," she noted. "I remember seeing her talking to Oprah about her autobiography. She spoke so beautifully and confidently about her age and power and the fact that beauty fades but your legs give you strength and are the last to go."[6]
