Information

The song "Thinkin Out Loud" was originally released as an interlude on JoJo's second mixtape, Agápē in 2012. JoJo has stated that insecurity about her vocal performance led her to not release the song in its entirety. The second track on the EP is a cover of Soul II Soul's 1989 single, "Back to Life (However Do You Want Me)".{{Cite journal|date=2015-12-18|title=JoJo – “Back 2 Life” (Soul II Soul Cover)|url=http://www.stereogum.com/1850084/jojo-back-2-life-soul-ii-soul-cover/mp3s/|journal=Stereogum|archive-date=December 20, 2015|access-date=December 19, 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151220060007/http://www.stereogum.com/1850084/jojo-back-2-life-soul-ii-soul-cover/mp3s/|url-status=live}} "Right On Time" is a 1996 single by Donna Lewis, but JoJo had to remove the song from the EP after Donna Lewis threatened legal action.{{Cite journal|date=2015-12-18|title=JoJo Drops Surprise '#LoveJo2' EP: Stream The '90s-Inspired Gem|url=http://www.idolator.com/7618316/jojo-lovejo2-surprise-ep-stream-90s|journal=idolator|language=en-US}}{{Dead link|date=January 2025 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}{{Cite web|url=https://www.thefader.com/2015/12/18/jojo-shares-her-lovejo2-ep|title=JoJo Shares Her #LOVEJO2 EP|website=The FADER|access-date=January 6, 2025|archive-date=December 8, 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231208215157/https://www.thefader.com/2015/12/18/jojo-shares-her-lovejo2-ep|url-status=live}} JoJo has since removed "Right On Time" along with a 'Tour Video' of the song due to Donna Lewis threatening legal action.
