Background and release
1UP was released as a surprise album on February 27, 2019, as T-Pain had not announced a release date prior; its release date coincided with the season finale of The Masked Singer, where T-Pain was revealed as the champion.
T-Pain named the album after a term for an extra life in video games, saying on Beats 1: "I'm an avid gamer. I've been a gamer pretty much all my life. So I'm starting to implement gaming into my music and to my themes and stuff like that." The cover art for the album was created by Canadian artist Pencil Fingerz.
Composition
Spin said the album features T-Pain's "customarily lascivious crooning and rapping across 12 tracks."
