About Based on a True Story

Based on a True Story is the debut album by American singer Lil' Mo. It was released on June 26, 2001, through Elektra Records and Warner Music Group. Created over a period of three years, in which its original version was delayed numerous times following arguments with Elektra executives over her image and material, and with preceding singles such as "If You Wanna Dance", "5 Minutes" and "Ta Da" failing to chart noticeably on the mainstream charts, it went through major reconstructions throughout its creation process. The singer worked with Darryl McClary and Mike Allen from production duo Flavahood on the majority of the album, with Shep Crawford and DJ Clue also contributing. Upon its release, Based on a True Story earned generally mixed to positive reviews from music critics who complimented the album for its authenticity but were critical with its formulaic lyrics. It peaked at number 14 on the US Billboard 200 and number six on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums, selling 73,000 copies in its first week of release. Elektra issued two further singles in support of the album, including "Superwoman Pt. II" featuring rapper Fabolous, which reached number 11 on the US Billboard Hot 100, and its follow-up "Gangsta (Love 4 the Streets)".
