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.[9] Free I.H: This Is Not the One You've Been Waiting For signals the band's departure from the record label Tiny Engines due to the financial controversy between the record label and several of its artists.[5] The New York Times reported that because Sarah Tudzin, the bandleader of Illuminati Hotties, did not want Let Me Do One More "to arrive on the embattled label [Tiny Engines]", 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.[5] Let Me Do One More was released under Hopeless Records and the band's own label, Snack Shack Tracks, which was first launched during the release of "Mmmoooaaaaayaya", the album's first single.[4][10]
