The album also includes Mai’s 2020 single, “Not Another Love Song.” The song peaked at number nine on the Billboard R&B charts and has 18 million YouTube views so far.

Heart on My Sleeve is the follow-up to Ella Mai’s 2018 self-titled debut album. With production handled chiefly by DJ Mustard, the album became a double-platinum success.

Mai made a big impression with her debut single, “Boo’d Up,” a seven-time platinum smash that spent 13 weeks at number one on Billboard’s R&B/Hip-Hop chart. The album’s other two singles, “Trip” and “Shot Clock” also reached the top five on the Billboard R&B charts.
