    It's All Me, Vol. 2 (stylized IT'S ALL ME VOL 2) is an extended playbyJapanese-American singer-songwriter Ai.

    Background and release[edit]

    When I [wrote Not So Different], I hadn't decided to put this song on "Volume two" [...] At that time, the Black Lives Matter movement expanded, and [I] decided to put [it] out now. I always want[ed] to send a message like this, but often I can't put out a song unless the timing is right.

    — Ai reflecting on including "Not So Different" on It's All Me, Vol. 2[1]

    Celebrating her twenty-year anniversary in the music industry, Ai released a compilation album, Kansha!!!!! - Thank You for 20 Years New and Best in November 2019 and an extended play, It's All Me, Vol. 1in July 2020.

    The EP's first single, "Not So Different" was released on November 25, 2020 with its music video premiering on the same day.[2][3] In December 2020, Ai partnered with One Young World and released a special music video of the song in support of the project.[4] A remix of "Not So Different" featuring Japanese rapper Awich was released on December 11, 2020 as a promotional single.[5] The second single, "Hope" was released on January 30, 2021 with its music video premiering the same day. Ai partnered with deleteC, a non-profit organization in Japan aiming to support cancer treatment.[6][7] A music video of the "Not So Different" remix was released on February 20, 2021, a few days prior to the EP's release on February 24.
