According to texts Ari sent to her label boss J. Cole prior to its release, Age/Sex/Locationwas inspired by the difficult time she’s had dating in the modern age.
“Transitional space. Very vulnerable and codependent and validation seeking park of my life,” the singer wrote in response to Cole asking her what the album meant to her.
