== Background and release ==
In 2008, Knowles signed a record deal with Geffen and a publishing contract with EMI. The same year she finished working on her second studio album in 2008 and titled the project ''Sol-Angel and the Hadley St. Dreams''. A collection of 1960s- and 1970s-influenced songs, it was considered as a departure from her pop-oriented debut upon its release in August 2008. By December 2008, the album had sold over 114,000 copies according to Nielsen Soundscan.〔 〕 The album was positively received by critics,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=''Sol-Angel and the Hadley St. Dreams'' by Solange )〕 some of whom considered it far better than her debut. In support of the album, Knowles began the Solange Presents Sol-Angel and the Hadley St. Dreams Tour in Britain in November 2008. The song "T.O.N.Y." was the third and final single to get lifted from the album in April 2009.〔 〕
In October of the same year, Knowles announced on her Twitter account, that she had parted ways with Interscope Geffen A&M after releasing just one album on the label, and further revealed that she had chosen to go an independent route with her next album, stating that “although it’s been a wonderful journey and experience at Interscope Records, after truly recognizing what’s important to ME as an artist, I decided it was time for me to continue my path on a more independent platform () I’m excited about continuing to dive in, experiment and creating music and art with no boundaries, fears or expectations. Gonna be fun folks.” Knowles also confirmed that she had been experimenting with a moody, electronic sound for her next project.〔 "Losing You" was confirmed to be the album's first single on September 2, 2012 during an interview with South African ''The Sunday Times''. Knowles described the song "eclectic with '80s references and African percussion influences."〔 The full track premiered along with the video on October 1, 2012. The single was released to iTunes a day later.〔
