'''''Good to Know''''' is the fourth studio album by American singer-songwriter [[JoJo (singer)|JoJo]]. Released on May 1, 2020, it marks her first release since leaving [[Atlantic Records]] and launching her own record label imprint Clover Music through a joint venture with [[Warner Records]]. The album reflects JoJo's efforts to process past experiences and develop a greater sense of [[self-understanding]], conceived during a period of personal transition. It was shaped by her personal life including a breakup, and was intended to encourage listeners to reflect on their own emotional patterns.
''Good to Know'' is a [[pop music|pop]] and [[contemporary R&B|R&B]] record characterized by [[slow tempo|slow-]] to [[mid-tempo]] songs, layered vocal harmonies, and an atmospheric production style. Its structure is divided into three thematic sections—moving from [[escapism]] and self-numbing behaviors to [[self-reflection]] and, ultimately, [[self-acceptance]]. ''Good to Know'' incorporates [[bass (music)|bass]]-driven arrangements and contemporary R&B production elements, while its lyrics explore themes of independence, sexuality, and introspection. It also contains an R&B-oriented sound and emphasis on mood over conventional pop structures.
''Good to Know'' was supported by the lead single "[[Man (JoJo song)|Man]]", followed by three [[promotional singles]]—"[[Lonely Hearts (JoJo song)|Lonely Hearts]]", "Comeback", and "Small Things". A [[deluxe edition]] featuring additional tracks and an [[acoustic music|acoustic]] version were released in 2020, while plans for the Good to Know Tour were canceled due to the [[COVID-19 pandemic]]. Upon release, ''Good to Know'' received positive reviews from critics, who highlighted its cohesive sound, vocal performances, and emphasis on mood and introspection. Commercially, the album reached numbers 22 in Portugal, 33 on the US [[Billboard 200|''Billboard'' 200]], and 78 in Scotland.

Describing her as an "adult R&B singer", he suggested that, while the genre is "not her genre per se", she could effectively cross over into hip hop through collaborations with rappers and producers.<ref name="RapReviews" />
Reviewers also addressed ''Good to Know''{{'}}s vocal performances and songwriting. Nick Smith of ''MusicOMH'' highlighted JoJo's vocal delivery across the record, describing "Don't Talk Me Down" as a standout for its restrained arrangement and dynamic performance. He also noted stylistic variety in tracks such as "Man" and "Small Things", while suggesting that some of the record's more explicit lyrical moments could detract from the material.<ref name="MusicOMH" /> Similarly, Maunier emphasized her vocal confidence, particularly on songs like "Gold" and "Small Things", where her "strong" vocals are featured.<ref name="Metro Weekly" />
The themes of ''Good to Know'' and tone were another focus of commentary. In ''The Guardian'', Laura Snapes characterized it as centered on [[self-knowledge (psychology)|self-knowledge]] and independence, with a reflective tone shaped by reassessing past experiences.<ref name="The Guardian" /> Edd Dracott of ''[[The Irish News]]'' also noted a balance between introspective material and more accessible tracks, highlighting its combination of reflective themes with R&B and [[dance music|dance]] production elements.<ref name="The Irish News" /> Some critics commented on ''Good to Know''{{'}}s cohesion and overall approach; Maunier considered its "tighter" production an improvement over ''Mad Love'', though he observed that the songs place less emphasis on immediate memorability.<ref name="Metro Weekly" /> Smith similarly noted that the album prioritizes atmosphere and tone, particularly in its latter half, and results in a consistent but occasionally understated listening experience.<ref name="MusicOMH" />
