Ailee shared during an interview with Sports DongA, "I am joyful that I can start the new year by letting fans listen to my ballad song in a long time... 'Singing Got Better' is a balld song that doesn't follow the latest trend and it's been three years since I completed recording the song... As much as it was recorded before 'Heaven', it is a track that I've held dear to me for a long, long time."

"Every time I thought about releasing it, I was met with another title track so it was pushed back... To be honest, it wasn't easy for me to sing a song with the title, 'Singing Got Better', when I was a rookie singer first making my debut."

She also shared her goals for 2014, "I suffer [minor] injuries often every time I make a comeback. I don't want to get injured and work hard to be active this year."
