Speaking on the release, Songz explained:

So we came up with ‘2020 Riots: How Many Times’.” With the words in this song I just wanted to speak to everyone’s hearts and acknowledge the pain and anguish everyone is going through right now. I know this ain’t usually my message and you’re not used to hearing this from me, but this is the person I’ve always been.”
