Transcription

Background

The reason for giving the meaningful title "Last Ai" is that "I can't say yet"...Would you like [me] to stop singing? That's not the case! I want to aim for the Grammy Awards, and I want to send music to the world including Japan, so I'm relieved for the future.[8]

— Ai reflecting on the future of her career

Ai previously released her 2009 compilation album, Best Ai which became her first album to chart number one on the Oricon Japanese Albums chart.[9] Her 2009 studio album, Viva Ai, also performed well commercially.

In September 2010, the title of the album was revealed and was slated for release in December later that year.[5] With the release of "Stronger" featuring Miliyah as the fourth single and its B-side track featuring American rapper Snoop Dogg, Ai revealed multiple artists from the west coast would be featured on the album.[5] In November 2010, the track listing and album cover was revealed.[10]
