The album, which features 12 titles, was available for pre-order on August 4, 2017. On the same date, a first single, "Growing Wings," was released. "Choose What You Love Most (And Let It Kill You)" was the album's second single. On February 2, 2018, the Camouflage World Tour, produced by her current producer and boss Matt Ersin, began in Miami. She toured around the world, appearing in 40 countries, including in Paris in June 2018.
