Shoot for the Stars, Aim for the Moon
Pop Smoke had recorded the first songs for Shoot for the Stars, Aim for the Moon before signing with Victor Victor Worldwide. Pop Smoke wanted to show how he had changed musically after finishing his first two mixtapes Meet the Woo (2019) and Meet the Woo 2 (2020). Pop Smoke flew to Los Angeles in mid-February 2020 to record as much music as possible for the album. He recorded the album's final songs in the final days of his life. Pop Smoke and his team planned to finish the album in Los Angeles, during his first headlining concert tour, Meet the Woo Tour, in the first week of March 2020.  While he was on tour, the record was supposed to be mixed and mastered.
