Background

Let Me Do One More was largely written before the band's last mixtape, Free I.H.: This Is Not The One You've Been Waiting For.[7] It was was the band's last album with the record label Tiny Engines due to financial controversy between the record label and several of its artists.[3] Replacing it was Hopeless Records and the band's own label, Hopeless Records, which was first launched during the release of Mmmoooaaaaayaya, the album's first single.[8][2] The New York Times reported that because Sarah Tudzin, the bandleader of Illuminati Hotties, "didn’t want her proudest artistic achievement yet" to be released on the Tiny Engines label due to the aforementioned controversy, she wrote the mixtape, Free I.H.: This Is Not The One You've Been Waiting For to complete a contractual agreement with the label.[3]
