Background and release
George "Joji" Miller, the creator and player of Filthy Frank, has always loved to create music as he elaborates in an interview with Pigeons and Planes.[3]
In 2011, Miller created a channel centered around his persona "Filthy Frank" to promote his music. As his channel grew, he created more bizarre characters, the most notable of which being Pink Guy, an aptly named character consisting of Miller in a pink body suit. Periodically, Miller would upload music videos to his channel which were equally diverse in musical design and visuals, ranging from Pink Guy making rice balls to how much he loves hentai.
In 2014, he released a collection of a select number of songs, titled Pink Guy (stylized in all caps), compiled under the pseudonym that most relates to the tone of the music.[4] After the release, Miller went back to his normal uploading schedule.
Throughout mid-2016, he hinted at the release of Pink Season in several of his videos. He continued to hype up his album by promoting on Twitter up until its release.[5]
The streaming service version of Hand On My Gat ends at 1:32 followed by minutes of slience until at the very end a unreleased snippet from his Joji moniker plays.
After the album was released, a new music video was released for the song "Nickelodeon Girls" on 13 March 2017.[6]
A remix EP titled Pink Season: The Prophecy was released on 24 May 2017, featuring remixes by Borgore, Getter, Tasty Treat and Axel Boy.[7]

Notes
- On Filthy Frank's YouTube upload of the album, "Another Earth" was originally subtitled "Young Thug Diss".[13]
- For the tracks "Hand on My Gat", "I Do It for My Hood" and "I Have A Gun", Miller uses the pseudonym PolitikZ,[14] an underground internet rapper character on the Filthy Frank Show.[15]
- After the album's initial release, the third track, "White Is Right", was removed from the iTunes Store, Google Play and Spotify. The original video for the song on YouTube has also been unlisted.[16][17][18][19] No official reason has been given for this removal.
- A year after the album's release, in early January 2018, the track "Dog Festival Directions" was removed from the iTunes Store, Google Play, Spotify and YouTube.[20][16][17][18] No official reason has been given for this removal; however, this comes after Miller announces retiring from comedy to pursue his music career.[21]
- The track "We Fall Again", used to be called "wefllagn.ii 5",[22] which got later renamed for the album.
