The Love Album: Off the Grid is the fifth and final studio album by American rapper and record producer Sean "Diddy" Combs. The album was released on September 15, 2023. Combs signed with the record label Motown in late 2022 to release its bonus tracks, "Gotta Move On" and "Sex In the Porsche", and in 2023, the album's only single, "Another One of Me". Despite this, the album was released independently by Combs' Love Records, becoming his first not released by Bad Boy Records. It is Combs's first solo album since 2006's Press Play, his first album as "Diddy" since the 2010 collaborative album Last Train to Paris, and his first project following the 2015 mixtape MMM (Money Making Mitch), which was credited to "Puff Daddy". Two months following its release, he was subject to numerous allegations of sexual misconduct, which overshadowed the album's promotion.
It includes guest appearances from The-Dream, Herb Alpert, Nova Wav, Busta Rhymes, Dawn Richard, Kalenna, Nija, Jozzy, Jacquees, Fabolous, Swae Lee, Summer Walker, The Weeknd, French Montana, 21 Savage, Justin Bieber, Jazmine Sullivan, Ty Dolla Sign, Kehlani, Coco Jones, Kalan.FrFr, K-Ci, Jeremih, Mary J. Blige, Teyana Taylor, Burna Boy, Babyface, John Legend, and H.E.R. The extended version contains additional guest appearances from Bryson Tiller, PartyNextDoor, and Metro Boomin. Production was handled by a variety of record producers, such as Combs, Nova Wav, Ty Dolla Sign, and Metro Boomin themselves, alongside Stevie J, Timbaland, London on da Track, J Dilla, D'Mile, OZ, the Stereotypes, Mick Schultz, and DaHeala, among others.
Upon its release, the album received polarizing reviews from music critics. Commercially, the album charted at number 19 on the Billboard 200 and peaked within the top 10 of the Independent Albums and Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums charts in the United States. The album also made charts in Canada, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom. "Another One of Me" was released as the album's lead and sole single on the 15th of September, 2023, and charted at number 84 on the Billboard Hot 100, alongside making charts in Canada, Greece, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom. Although the song served as the album's sole single, the single "Gotta Move It" and a remix of the song "Creepin'" were included on the album's deluxe edition. The former topped the Adult R&B Airplay charts, while the latter topped numerous other charts worldwide.
