Background and release
In September 2016, in a then deleted video from his
Instagram account, Brown previewed some sections of the song whilst painting in his house. Fans speculated that the song was a
cover of
Kevin Lyttle's 2003 single "
Turn Me On".[5]
In July 2017, he announced the pending release of upcoming singles from his album.[6] Later on August 4, 2017, he released "
Pills & Automobiles", that features guest vocals from American
trap artists
Yo Gotti,
A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie and
Kodak Black,[7] then on August 14, 2017, he announced the dropping of the fifth official single from the album, Heartbreak on a Full Moon, for August 16, which was "Questions".[8] The song leaked online a week before its actual release, though, with iTunes versions appearing online on August 11, it’s believed that the track was prematurely released onto iTunes in select countries before being taken down. With these versions, the cover art was simply a black picture.
