***EP2!*** is the fifth [extended play](/source/Extended_play) by American rapper and [producer](/source/Music_producer) [JPEGMafia](/source/JPEGMafia), released February 12, 2021 on [Republic Records](/source/Republic_Records). It is the follow-up to *EP!*, a compilation of [singles](/source/Single_(music)) he released throughout 2020. *EP2!* was supported by two singles: "Last Dance!" and "Fix Urself!".

## Background

JPEGMafia released several singles across the span of 2020, and compiled them into an EP, aptly titled *EP!*. It was released on his Bandcamp page on November 6, and on streaming services with the addition of one extra single on December 10.[1] Shortly after the release, he announced *EP2!* on his Twitter account calling it "triumphant introvert music".[2]

The EP was recorded May or June 2020 "around the time when people were [posting black squares](/source/Blackout_Tuesday)"[3] over the course of three weeks, with him saying on Twitter "no samples I just locked myself in a room with a few synthesizers. 3 weeks top to bottom".[2][4]

## Release and promotion

The first single to release was "Last Dance!" on August 31, 2020, calling it the "final one".[5] It did not appear on the track listing for *EP!*, suggesting it was going to release on a different project. On January 29, 2021, he released the single "Fix Urself!" accompanied by a music video.[6] On February 5, he officially announced the release date and track listing. The album released February 12, 2021 and was supported by a [YouTube](/source/YouTube) [livestream](/source/Livestream) of a pre-recorded performance of the EP, along with a Q&A session afterwards where he answered questions from fans.[7][3]

## Track listing

All tracks written and produced by JPEGMafia, except "Panic Room", produced by JPEGMafia and [James Blake](/source/James_Blake_(musician)).[8]

**Notes**

- All titles are stylized in all caps.
- The [Bandcamp](/source/Bandcamp) version of the EP has "Intro!" and "Fix Urself" combined into one track.[9]
