Recovery (Quando Rondo album)

The album is dedicated to Lul Pab, who was Quando's cousin who was shot and killed in August 2022. Upon the release of the album, Quando appeared in an interview with XXL in which he revealed the meaning behind the album's title, stating that it's titled Recovery because "that's something that everybody in this universe on planet Earth are going to have to face, a recovery from something. It don't matter what it is, how big or small. And I know that's something a lot of people can adapt to". Quando elaborated on the album later in the interview:{{cite magazine|url=https://www.xxlmag.com/quando-rondo-interview/|title=Quando Rondo Discusses Moving On With a New Album, YoungBoy Never Broke Again’s Motivation and Keeping the Faith|last=High|first=Kemet|magazine=XXL|date=April 12, 2023|access-date=October 24, 2024|archive-date=April 12, 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230412143016/https://www.xxlmag.com/quando-rondo-interview/|language=en-US|url-status=live}}

|text=My main thing for this album was for when I put it out, people listen to it and sit back and notice that I moved on from a lot of things. I'm so ready for everybody else to move on.
