Background
After the release of Dreamee (EP), with tracks "Anh nhà ở đâu thế", "Đen đá không đường", "Trời giấu trời mang đi" as well as single release "Sao anh chưa về nhà", Amee announced on YouTube on March 31, 2020, that her full album under the same name Dreamee would be releasing. The album however was postponed indefinitely due to the COVID-19 pandemic. During this time however, Amee alongside the Ministry of Health in Vietnam released a revised version of Sao anh chưa về nhà, which contained references to socially distance and stay at home.
On June 11, 2020, Amee announced that her album will be released on June 28, 2020, with her title track "Yêu thì yêu không yêu thì yêu" released on June 18, 2020.
