The album features [[guest appearance]]s from [[Busta Rhymes]], [[Ace Hood]] and [[Rick Ross]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Background==&lt;br /&gt;
Jay Sean began working on his fourth album and second with Cash Money Records under the name &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Freeze Time&amp;#039;&amp;#039; in July 2010.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;idolator1&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite web|author=Robbie Daw |url=http://idolator.com/6056532/jay-sean-interview |title=Jay Sean Discusses &amp;#039;Freeze Time&amp;#039; &amp;amp; The End of the World: Idolator Interview |publisher=Idolator.com |accessdate=2013-07-31}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; At the time, he stated that he had completed roughly 75 percent of the album and that guests included [[Lil Wayne]], [[Pitbull (entertainer)|Pitbull]] and [[Nicki Minaj]].&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;idolator1&amp;quot;/&amp;gt; Sean also co-headlined with Joe Jonas on the [[Joe Jonas &amp;amp; Jay Sean Tour]] with JoJo as the opening act.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|url=http://www.rap-up.com/2011/08/19/jojo-joins-joe-jonas-and-jay-sean-tour/ |title=JoJo Joins Joe Jonas and Jay Sean Tour |publisher=Rap-Up.com |date=2011-08-19 |accessdate=2013-05-15}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Sean released a mixtape titled &amp;#039;&amp;#039;[[The Mistress (mixtape)|The Mistress]]&amp;#039;&amp;#039; in September 2011 and a Japan exclusive album titled &amp;#039;&amp;#039;[[Hit the Lights (album)|Hit the Lights]]&amp;#039;&amp;#039; in January 2012.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|url=http://www.datpiff.com/Jay-Sean-The-Mistress-mixtape.262835.html |title=Jay Sean - The Mistress // Free Mixtape @ |publisher=Datpiff.com |accessdate=2013-07-31}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But in February 2012, during an interview with Clevvermusic, when Jay Sean was asked about his long delayed fourth studio album he said &amp;quot;Let me tell you what happened with, Freeze Time. I curse myself with it because it got frozen in time and didn&amp;#039;t come out.&amp;quot; He further added &amp;quot;and guess what, I&amp;#039;ve changed the name and scrapped it; I&amp;#039;m done with Freeze Time; I&amp;#039;m over Freeze Time. The album is coming out which is done, finito, in a few months&amp;quot;.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{YouTube|FGTLhHOqCTU|In-Studio Interview - Jay Sean Reveals Pitbull Collaboration, New Album }}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In February 2013, Jay Sean announced he would be changing the title of the album again from &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Worth It All&amp;#039;&amp;#039; to &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Neon&amp;#039;&amp;#039;.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|url=http://www.rap-up.com/2013/02/22/rap-up-tv-jay-sean-announces-new-album-neon/ |title=Rap-Up TV: Jay Sean Announces New Album &amp;#039;Neon&amp;#039; |publisher=Rap-Up.com |date=2013-02-22 |accessdate=2013-05-15}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; In April 2013, it was announced that the album had been pushed back from 21 May 2013, until 25 June 2013.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|url=https://www.amazon.com/Neon-Jay-Sean/dp/B0042LLPSE/ |title=Neon: Jay Sean: Music |accessdate=2013-05-15}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; In June 2013, the album was pushed back again until 23 July 2013.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|url=http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Neon---CD/1364171.p?id=2157380&amp;amp;skuId=1364171 |title=Neon 7/29 - CD |publisher=Best Buy |accessdate=2013-07-25}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; On 28 June 2013, Jay Sean announced on his official Facebook page that the album would finally be released on 30 July 2013, with the iTunes pre-order being available on 9 July 2013.

&lt;br /&gt;
==Recording and production==&lt;br /&gt;
In July 2011, During an interview with [[Rap-Up|Rap-Up TV]], Jay Sean told about the next album and working with [[Pharrell Williams|Pharrell]]. He said &amp;quot;We did three songs together over the last couple of weeks for my new album&amp;quot;. He further praised Pharrell saying &amp;quot;While music is changing so much, he’s keeping up with the trends, but he’s still making sure he doesn’t let go of what makes his music his music. It’s got that unique Pharrell sound.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|url=http://www.rap-up.com/2011/07/17/rap-up-tv-jay-sean-freezes-time-with-pharrell-readies-mixtape/ |title=Rap-Up TV: Jay Sean Freezes Time with Pharrell, Readies Mixtape |publisher=Rap-Up.com |date=2011-07-17 |accessdate=2013-05-15}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; In February 2012, Jay Sean told Diana Madison of HollyscoopTV about the collaboration with [[Lupe Fiasco]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|url=http://www.aol.com/video/jay-sean-on-working-with-pitbull-and-lupe-fiasco/517286325/ |title=Video - Jay Sean on Working With Pitbull and Lupe Fiasco |publisher=Aol.com |accessdate=2013-05-15}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; He further added about the collaboration with [[Pitbull (entertainer)|Pitbull]] on the track &amp;quot;[[I&amp;#039;m All Yours]]&amp;quot; which also served as the first single from the album.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|url=https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/im-all-yours-feat.-pitbull/id528710464 |title=iTunes - Music - I&amp;#039;m All Yours (feat.

&lt;br /&gt;
In July 2012, Jay Sean told MTV News about his second single of his upcoming album. He mentioned a collaboration with [[Afrojack]]. The song is said to be titled &amp;quot;So High&amp;quot; and should act as another club banger. Sean further stated &amp;quot;The song &amp;#039;So High&amp;#039; is just ridiculous. Afrojack is such an amazing producer,&amp;quot; he said. &amp;quot;Again, he lives in the clubs. He knows what works. So when it comes to actually producing, he knows what&amp;#039;s gonna have an impact in the club&amp;quot;.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|last=Vena |first=Jocelyn |url=http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1689589/jay-sean-afrojack-so-high-collaboration.jhtml |title=Jay Sean Gets &amp;#039;So High&amp;#039; With Afrojack on His Next Single - Music, Celebrity, Artist News |publisher=MTV.com |date=2012-07-13 |accessdate=2013-05-15}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; In October 2012, Jay Sean released an [[extended play|EP]] available only on the Australian [[iTunes Store]] with the three songs and an exclusive bonus track &amp;quot;Patience&amp;quot;.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|url=https://itunes.apple.com/au/album/so-high-ep/id569061688|title=&amp;#039;&amp;#039;So High&amp;#039;&amp;#039; by Jay Sean|work=[[iTunes Store|iTunes]] AU|publisher=[[Apple Inc.|Apple]]|accessdate=26 November 2013}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Recently Sean stated during a live Ustream that the albums guests would include [[Sean Paul]], [[Busta Rhymes]], [[Lil Wayne]], [[Ace Hood]] and [[Rick Ross]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|url=http://www.ustream.tv/recorded/28337847 |title=Jay Sean LIVE!, Jay Sean LIVE! jayseanonline on USTREAM.

&amp;#039;&amp;#039;Neon&amp;#039;&amp;#039; was met with generally favourable reviews from [[music criticism|music critic]]s.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;metacritic&amp;quot;/&amp;gt; Kyle Anderson of &amp;#039;&amp;#039;[[Entertainment Weekly]]&amp;#039;&amp;#039; rated the album an A- grade, stating that &amp;quot;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;Neon&amp;#039;&amp;#039; feels confident and complete&amp;quot; with &amp;quot;all the thrills of the best [[Chris Brown]] songs&amp;quot;.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;ew&amp;quot;/&amp;gt; Kathy Iandoli of &amp;#039;&amp;#039;[[Vibe (magazine)|Vibe]]&amp;#039;&amp;#039; gave the album a positive review, saying &amp;quot;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;Neon&amp;#039;&amp;#039; is perhaps Jay Sean’s most cohesive work, due to its lack of compromise. Every song is arguably a hit, without seeming forced. That’s a huge feat for an artist who spent the first half of his career appeasing one audience and the other half speaking to an entirely different demographic. While his next moves have to be his best moves, Jay Sean has another hit project to add to his arsenal.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;vibe&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite web|last=Iandoli|first=Kathy|title=Vibe Magazine|date=30 July 2013|url=http://www.vibe.com/article/review-jay-seans-neon-finds-dance-and-rb-sweet-spot|accessdate=2013-08-15}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Fred Thomas of [[AllMusic]] gave the album three out of five stars, saying &amp;quot;Much of &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Neon&amp;#039;&amp;#039; feels like Sean and his production crew are scrounging around for a hit, trying their luck with everything from saccharine pop to generic club bangers and even a reggae-tinged number, &amp;quot;Sucka for You.&amp;quot; As someone whose success has come mostly as a singles artist, Jay Sean fails to deliver anything quite as charismatic as any of his greatest hits on &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Neon&amp;#039;&amp;#039;, leaving the album feeling largely flat.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;AM&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Killian Fox of &amp;#039;&amp;#039;[[The Guardian]]&amp;#039;&amp;#039; gave the album two out of five stars, saying &amp;quot;Four years in the making, two title changes, numerous collaborations announced and redeployed or never fully realised: the fourth album from west London R&amp;amp;B singer Jay Sean has had such a difficult conception, you&amp;#039;d expect it to bear some interesting scars from its labours. Not so many. &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Neon&amp;#039;&amp;#039; is a smooth, proficient pop product that steers clear of conflict or strong emotions unless they have to do with matters of the heart. The presence of rappers Ace Hood and Busta Rhymes ups the ante slightly in the later stages of the album, but for the most part Neon is as safe and inoffensive as its namesake gas.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;TG&amp;quot;/&amp;gt; Caryn Ganz of &amp;#039;&amp;#039;[[Rolling Stone]]&amp;#039;&amp;#039; gave the album two out of five stars, saying &amp;quot;Long delays rarely mean good things for pop albums, and Jay Sean&amp;#039;s fourth LP hasn&amp;#039;t exactly been ripening like a fancy fromage over the past four years. The British smoothie sold more than 4 million copies of his 2009 single &amp;quot;Down,&amp;quot; which featured Lil Wayne, but a lot of adventurous new R&amp;amp;B has arrived in the interim. Compared with Drake, Frank Ocean or Miguel, Neon is R&amp;amp;Beige – full of boy-band blahs and acoustic guitars (&amp;quot;Guns and Roses&amp;quot;), and limpid love songs (&amp;quot;Luckiest Man&amp;quot;). Jay Sean works his fluttery falsetto alongside Rick Ross on &amp;quot;Mars&amp;quot; and finds a serviceably sexy jam with &amp;quot;All on Your Body,&amp;quot; which features Ace Hood, but even at its best, Neon barely flickers.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;rollingstone1&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

The album debuted at number 116 on the [[Billboard 200|&amp;#039;&amp;#039;Billboard&amp;#039;&amp;#039; 200]] chart, with first-week sales of 3,608 copies in the United States.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|author=Carl Neufville |url=http://pappzd.com/2013/08/jay-sean-album-neon-us-chart-flop/ |title=Jay Sean&amp;#039;s Album Neon Sells a Disastrous 3,608 Copies in US Chart Flop |publisher=Pappzd.com |date=2013-08-05 |accessdate=2013-08-09}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
