专辑背景
Wake Up! follows the releases of Legend's Evolver (2008) and The Roots's How I Got Over (2010). Legend and The Roots were inspired to record a collaborative album by the 2008 United States presidential election.
In an interview for Billboard, Legend explained the album's conception at the time, stating "I was in the middle of campaigning for Barack Obama and feeling inspired by the atmosphere in the country at the time, so I wanted to do something musically that reflected that moment. The original idea was to do some sort of covers EP, but the more I got into it with the Roots, it felt like something that should be heard and marketed on its own". The album's title was inspired by Canadian rock band Arcade Fire's song of the same name.
