Background and release

In early 2020, Beabadoobee achieved major commercial success for the first time in her career when a sample of her 2017 single, "Coffee", was used in Canadian rapper Powfu's 2019 single "Death Bed".[5] The song peaked in the top 20 charts of over 27 countries,[6] and earned Beabadoobee her first platinum certifications in the United States,[7] United Kingdom,[8] Australia,[9] and New Zealand.[10]

Amid the international hype over "Death Bed", Beabadoobee announced Fake It Flowers on 15 July 2020 and released the lead single and album opener "Care".[11][12][13] For the Apple Music At Home Sessions, she performed an acoustic version of "Care" as well as a cover version of Daniel Johnston's "Walking the Cow".[14] Beabadoobee announced the release of the album's next single "Sorry" in early August,[15][16] and released it alongside its music video few days later on 5 August 2020.[17][18] With this release, Beabadoobee revealed the album's track listing, cover art and official release date.[2]

Composition and recording

Beabadoobee told i-D, "Fake It Flowers is pretty much my whole life in one album".[19] On the album's namesake she said "I recorded my demos on my phone and for some reason they all saved as 'Fake It Flowers', and I was like, 'Oh! That's a cool name!' So I figured I may as well just call the album that! [...] I got kind of obsessed with flowers actually, especially when filming the video for 'Care' and doing the whole creative side with my boyfriend."[19]
