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."{{cite web|url=https://www.rap-up.com/2019/02/27/t-pain-1up-album-stream/|title=Stream T-Pain's New Album '1UP'|work=Rap-Up|date=February 27, 2019|accessdate=February 28, 2019}} The cover art for the album was created by Canadian artist Pencil Fingerz.
Composition
