Background[edit]

About the album, G-Eazy said that "you live and you learn" about relationships within the project.[2] It is a sequel to his 2014 debut album These Things Happen.[3]

Release and promotion[edit]

On September 8, 2021, G-Eazy revealed the album's release date and released a song and teaser video, both titled "The Announcement", as part of its promotion.[4] Exactly two weeks later, on September 22, 2021, he revealed the tracklist and producer credits.[5] Two singles preceded the release of the album. The lead single, "Running Wild (Tumblr Girls 2)", featuring American singer Kossisko, was released on August 18, 2021.[6] The second single, "Breakdown", featuring American singer Demi Lovato, was released on September 17, 2021.[7]

Reception[edit]

Tim Hoffman of Riff Magazine said that "While These Things Happen Too delivers plenty of songs that perpetuate the 'player' criticisms lobbed at G-Eazy [...] there’s plenty of substance to be found as well."[8]

Commercial performance[edit]

These Things Happen Too debuted at number 19 on the US Billboard 200 with 19,400 album equivalent units in its first week.[9]
