Talking about the recording process with iHeart Radio, Mahone said "Putting ''ForMe+You'' together was amazing, because I spent six months in LA, and I recorded probably 90 songs. And, I just picked the best eight songs that I thought would do really well, and put them all together, and made a nice little EP type mixtape project, and put that out for everyone".<ref name="iHeart">{{Cite web |title=INTERVIEW: Austin Mahone Talks 'ForMe+You' & Video Chats with Fans |url=https://wham1180.iheart.com/content/2017-02-17-interview-austin-mahone-talks-formeyou-video-chats-with-fans/ |access-date=2022-11-29 |website=NewsRadio WHAM 1180 |language=en}}</ref> Of the sound, Mahone mentioned his intention with the mixtape was to move away from the bubblegum pop he was previously known for, and "incorporate some R&B flavor this time, because that's my personal taste in music".<ref>{{Cite web |date=2017-02-21 |title=Austin Mahone Talks New Music, Good Reads, and the Full House Theme Song |url=https://coveteur.com/2017/02/21/austin-mahone-new-music-full-house-theme-song/ |access-date=2022-11-29 |website=Coveteur: Inside Closets, Fashion, Beauty, Health, and Travel |language=en}}</ref>
