Breezy was preceded by three singles; "Iffy", "WE (Warm Embrace)" and "Call Me Every Day". At the 65th Grammy Awards, the deluxe edition of Breezy was nominated for Best R&B Album. Background and recording Chris Brown started working on the album simultaneously with the release of his ninth studio album Indigo. The singer said in July 2021, while working on the album, that he wanted to make some "really endearing music" that "talk to women's soul". In February 2022, he stated on his Instagram account that the album would contain some pure R&B material. He later said that on some of the album's songs he wanted to depict "a different type of love mixed with heartbreak". The recording sessions for Breezy ended during the first days of June 2022. During the album's work, the singer stated that he recorded almost 250 songs. During an interview with Big Boy, one week before Breezys release, the singer said that the project is more targeted towards his female audience.

The cover art consists of a black and white picture of the back of Brown's head with the album's title shaved into his hair. The haircut was done by American artist and barber Rob the Original. According to the barber, the haircut of the album's cover was designed by Brown and himself, and was inspired by works of Italian artist and barber Nto Hair Mugen. Shawn Grant of The Source found the artwork to be "minimal" compared to those of Brown's latest projects.
