Background and promotion

Following IDK's fourth studio album F65, Bravado + Intimo is considered to have trap and jazz influences.^[1]

In an interview with Hypebeast on November 5, IDK described why the songs are labeled with an B or an I after the title; these stand for bravado and intimo respectively. IDK describes the meanings of bravado and intimo, with bravado being the braggadocio, and intimo being internal thoughts and desires that IDK describes as his "true self."^[2]
