Background and recording

Originally, Brown wanted his fourth studio album '' F.A.M.E.'' to be a

consistent of 25-30 tracks, but the label was contrary to that. Right before the release of ''F.A.M.E.'' Brown decided to follow his intentions in an acceptable way for the label, working on a sequel of ''F.A.M.E.'' called ''Fortune'', that would've been a whole new album that contained new material and even some tracks that didn't make the cut for ''F.A.M.E.'', releasing it six months after the previous album. The artist later decided to take more time to work on the album, developing it as a project of its own, with its own concept and sound being different than the one of its precedent album. Work for ''Fortune'' began in mid-2011, with

revealing that he had been collaborating "heavily" with Brown for an upcoming album. Later in September 2011, producer

explained that the idea of the album was to create mostly material that reflected a more club-oriented style that would "change the way people look at R&B". On January 7, 2012, Brown tweeted that there were only two weeks left of recording sessions for the album: "Last two weeks of me finishing ''Fortune''! I'm excited for all the fans to hear my real music". The tweet was soon followed up by another from Brown, with him tweeting: "Dub step records on my album sounding crazy!!!!". However, the tweet was later removed, suggesting that Brown gave away too much details about ''Fortune'', and its working continued for some months. Brown later told

Release

In January 2011, Brown told fans on Twitter that he was planning on releasing his then studio album, ''F.A.M.E.'' (2011), as a double disc because he recorded too many songs for one disc and therefore planned on releasing a second disc titled, ''Fortune''. However, during a listening party for ''F.A.M.E.'' on March 14, 2011, Brown announced that he would be releasing the ''Fortune'' disc in six months. He later decided to prolong its working, consequently postponing its release. In May 2011 the songs "Fools With You" and "Treading Waters" leaked on the internet, with Brown revealing his intention to put those tracks on the album, by tweeting: "Another song from ''Fortune'' was leaked! I'm not leaking the records! Hope y'all like it!". In July another track that was supposed to be on the record, titled "Open Road (I Love Her)", was leaked, with the singer later tweeting: "If the whole song doesn’t leak then it’s going on ''Fortune''! I have so many songs that I’ve recorded in my opinion that are sick. I just really hope people appreciate the diversity on ''Fortune''".
