==Background and release==
Following the release of her sixth studio album, ''Bionic'' (2010), which failed to generate impact on charts worldwide, Aguilera filed for divorce from her husband Jordan Bratman, starred in her first feature film, ''Burlesque'' and recorded the accompanying soundtrack. She then became a coach on NBC's singing competition show ''The Voice''〔 and appeared as a featured artist on Maroon 5's single "Moves Like Jagger" (2011), which spent four weeks atop the US ''Billboard'' Hot 100 chart. Following these events, Aguilera announced that had plans to begin production of her seventh album, stating that she wanted high quality and "personal" songs for the record.〔 Regarding the creative direction, she revealed that the album would be a "culmination of everything I've experienced up until this point ... I've been through a lot since the release of my last album, being on ('The Voice'), having had a divorce ... This is all sort of a free rebirth for me." She further said "I'm embracing many different things, but it's all feel-good, super-expressive () super-vulnerable."〔 Aguilera continued to say that the album would be about "self–expression and freedom" because of the personal struggles she had overcome during the last couple of years.
Speaking about her new material during an interview on ''The Tonight Show with Jay Leno'' in 2012, Aguilera said that the recording process for ''Lotus'' was taking a while because "I don't like to just get songs from producers. I like them to come from a personal place ... I'm very excited. It's fun, exciting, introspective, it's going to be great". Recorded at Northern Sky Music by Sam Miller, "Just a Fool" was written by Steve Robson, Claude Kelly and Wayne Hector, with production handled by Steve Robson.〔 Aguilera's vocals were recorded at The Red Lips Room in Beverly Hills, California, while Shelton's vocals were recorded at Luminous Sound in Dallas, Texas.〔 The duo's vocals were recorded by Oscar Ramirez, and Aguilera produced them with Kelly.〔 Robson also carried out programming and keyboards, arranging, and guitars.〔 Following the release of ''Lotus'', "Just a Fool" managed to debut on the ''Billboard'' Hot 100 chart, prompting RCA Records to release the song as a single.〔 On December 4, 2012, the label sent the track to contemporary hit and hot adult contemporary radio stations in the United States as the second and final single from the album.〔〔 On February 18, 2013, the single was released to adult contemporary radio in the US.〔
