The album was inspired by different kinds of trips Aiko has experienced including mental, physical, and psychedelic. ĭescribing the album's conception, Aiko stated that she wanted to create an album to showcase all of her personalities and express these. Trip was originally announced in under the name TRIP 17, creating anticipation with non-album singles such as "Maniac", "First Fuck" with 6lack, and "Hello Ego" with Chris Brown between 2016 throughout early and mid-2017.

I had just driven six hours by myself, and went on a hike while on mushrooms,” she recalls. “I went to Big Sur by myself, and it was probably at the height of a mental breakdown. “In the beginning, I take LSD and find myself in Jukai, which is a forest in Japan where people go to kill themselves,” Aiko told Rolling Stone in 2017. The expansive 22-track album, inspired by the death of Aiko’s brother in 2012, charts the singer’s fictionalized journey fueled, as the album title suggests, by psychedelic drugs.

Jhené Aiko has dropped her futuristic, Rae Sremmurd-featuring video for the remix of “Sativa,” the latest visual off the R&B singer’s 2017 album Trip.
