I Decided.

Big Sean

2017

I Decided. is ultimately about growth and making the “right” decisions in life and told from the perspective of having the benefit of hindsight vision but in the present moment. 

In Big Sean’s own words: “The story of the album is: imagine you went through life and you made all the wrong decisions your whole life. You get to the end of your life and you’re at a moment where it’s like, ‘God, I did everything wrong. I didn’t work it out with the love of my life. I messed it up with my parents. I’m not doing the job I was sent here to do on earth. Imagine something happens, and you get one chance to redo it all.”

The album is a chance of having that wisdom of an old man while you’re young, then going through life and figuring it out. It’s also why Big Sean added a period to the album title so that it’s “definitive.”
