I ka makahiki 1995, ua hoʻokuʻu ʻia ka lua album My Life. Ua komo pū ʻo Sean Combs i kēia. Ua loaʻa i kēia album kekahi mau loli.
No laila, ua hoʻohuli ʻia ka mea hoʻolohe mai ka leo rap, a ua ʻōlelo ʻo Mary i kona ola holoʻokoʻa, ʻeha a me nā pilikia. Ua hopohopo nuiʻo ia i nā mea a pau e pili ana i ka uhakiʻana i nā kuleana o nāʻeleʻele.

A laila hoʻololi ka mea mele i ka hui. ʻO Suge Knight kāna mea hana. ʻAʻole maʻalahi kēia hoʻoholo, akā ua hahai ʻo Mary i kāna pahuhopu.
Ma hope o ke kau inoa ʻana i kahi ʻaelike me MCA, ua hoʻomaka ka mea hoʻokani e hana i kahi album studio ʻekolu.
