Jorja Smith released her second studio album, Falling or Flying, on September 29, 2023. The singer elaborated on how the album was named in an exclusive interview with Numero magazine on May 22, 2024:
"There’s a song on the album called Falling or Flying, but the name of the album has nothing to do with that song. It came out of a conversation with one of my best friends. I was telling her how I was feeling, explaining that I didn’t know whether I was falling or flying. It’s a feeling that emerged almost three years ago, and I started to create that album around that-"
Jorja Smith continued:
"- time. I couldn’t tell whether or not I was doing well, whether I was happy or sad, whether I was losing or winning. The ones who know me well know that I’ve never really found myself in that in-between. I’m either one thing or the other."
Jorja Smith continued:
"For instance, I’m either obsessed with something, or can’t focus at all. The title also represents the album, because when you listen to it, it flies, then falls, then topples over again, like a rollercoaster. So listening to it might make you want to laugh and cry at the same time."
The album charted at number 3 on the UK album chart and at number 5 on the Scottish album chart. It is the singer's first new album since 2018's Lost & Found.
