Background and composition
editThe title of After 7 was inspired by Lay Bankz's experience with the number seven throughout her life, including ages, dates, and other significant life events.[4] The lead single "Tell Ur Girlfriend" reached #58 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, marking Bankz's first entry onto the Billboard charts.[2] Bankz describes this album as her first "big-girl body of work".[5] She noted the authenticity of After 7 saying "...[After 7 is] raw and it’s me and it’s uncut...this project is way more innovative. I really sat down and thought about how I wanted my project to sound and how I wanted it to feel."[6]
