LoveJo2 (stylized as #LoveJo2) is the third extended play by American recording artist JoJo. Released on December 18, 2015, it is a follow up to 2014's LoveJo.^[1] The four-track EP was released in honor of the singer's 25th birthday and as a lead up to her third studio album.^[2][3]

Background

The song "Thinkin Out Loud" was originally released as an interlude on JoJo's second mixtape, Agápē (2012). JoJo originally stated that insecurity about her vocal performance caused her to not release the song in full.^[4][5][6][7] The EP's second track is a cover of Soul II Soul's 1989 single "Back to Life (However Do You Want Me)".^{[8][9][10][11]} "Right On Time" samples Donna Lewis's 1996 single "I Love You Always Forever." JoJo has since removed "Right On Time" along with a 'Tour Video' of the song due to Donna Lewis threatening legal action.
