==Background==
Niykee Heaton reached the music industry through covers of contemporary pop, R&B, and hip-hop hits, for which she accompanied herself on acoustic guitar, that she started uploading regularly to YouTube in 2011. Near the end of the following year, her version of rapper Chief Keef's "Love Sosa" went viral, leading Heaton to take meetings with several record labels but opting to take a step back and build "a catalog that we were proud of" with her manager Lauren. She eventually signed a deal with Steve Rifkind and Russell Simmons's Capitol-affiliate All Def label in 2014, Awesomeness Music, focused on producing "content catering to the YouTube audience, for talent with a following online."〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Niykee Heaton - Biography )〕
In an interview talking about the project, Heaton said: "People know me for singing "Love Sosa" on guitar, which is great because they know me for doing something weird and different, but it's important they know me for more than just my YouTube covers – that they can come for the Chief Keef and 2 Chainz covers but they can also see 'she has original music too,' so it's really important that people know me as a songwriter, and a musician, something more than just a YouTube artist." "I think the reason I'm here is because I never tried to be where I am; we didn't construct this image or plan of attack. (manager and I ) have always said, let's just be honest. Let's just show people who we are and make the kind of music that we like. That's why I think my fans recognize what's real,” she elaborated on her style.〔 Heaton designed the ''Bad Intentions'' cover art herself: "I made my cover on my MacBook you know. That's authentic. I put a professional photo on Instagram once and I was like 'what is this?!' My fans know me for my selfies so why not stay true to that."〔
