My Life II... The Journey Continues (Act 1) is the tenth studio album by American R&B recording artist Mary J. Blige. Titled as the sequel to her 1994 album My Life, the album was released on November 21, 2011.
"25/8" was released for digital download on September 1, 2011, as the album's first single. The song was produced, and co-written by Eric Hudson. Blige performed the song live for the first time at Good Morning America on September 2, 2011. The song debuted on the Hot R&B/Hip Hop Songs chart at number ninety-four, and has since peaked at number thirty-six. "Mr. Wrong", featuring Drake, was released as the second single from the album on October 28, 2011. The song is co-produced by Jim Jonsin and Rico Love. "Mr. Wrong" impacted Urban radio on November 8, 2011.
"Someone to Love Me (Naked)" was released as first promotional single of the album in March 2011. It's a reworked version of the song "Someone to Love Me" by Diddy Dirty-Money from their album "Last Train to Paris" and features Lil Wayne, and Diddy. Produced by Jerry "Wonder" Duplessis, and Arden Altino, "Someone to Love Me (Naked)" samples "You Roam When You Don’t Get It At Home" performed by The Sweet Inspirations. A music video for the song was premiered online on April 4, 2011. Blige, and Wayne performed the song live for the first time at the 2011 Billboard Music Awards on May 22, 2011. The song initially debuted on the Hot R&B/Hip Hop Songs chart at number ninety-nine before falling off, only to return, and subsequently peak at number twenty-eight. "The Living Proof" hit the internet on July 5, 2011. It serves as the official soundtrack for "The Help", and is produced by The Underdogs. A music video for the song was released online on August 10, 2011. The song debuted on Billboard's Adult Contemporary chart at number twenty-seven on November 3, 2011.
BBC Music's Lloyd Bradley dubbed the album "Blige's most enjoyable, exciting and consistent album in years" and complimented its music as a "clever updating" of her past hip hop soul. The Daily Telegraph stated, "with the right collaborators [Blige] can conjure golden moments when the listener is transported simultaneously to the church pew and the dancefloor." Rolling Stone writer Jody Rosen called Blige "admirably unfashionable, staying in her sweet spot of midtempo hip-hop soul", adding that "she can still make pain pleasurable."
