The album features production contributions from executive multiplatinum producer-songwriter Julian Bunetta, Stargate, and Dr. Luke, and was released by Syco Music and Epic Records. During the recording sessions, Fifth Harmony stated that the album will signal a more mature sound for the group, with the lyrical content and production said to be less pop than ''Better Together''.〔 During the voting stages of the 2014 MTV Video Music Awards where Fifth Harmony was nominated in the ''Artist to Watch'' category, fans were asked to vote for the group a certain number of times to help unlock the cover art for the album. The title and the cover of the album were unveiled on Fifth Harmony's official website on August 12, 2014. After receiving negative feedback from fans, the group revealed a new album cover on August 23, 2014.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Bo$$ Move: Fifth Harmony Changed Their Album Art For The Fans )〕 The album's release date was delayed a number of times during the last quarter of 2014 and early 2015.
