The deluxe edition contributed to Good Intentions debuting at number one on the Billboard 200.[5] The relatively short span of time between the release dates of the re-issue and the standard edition of Good Intentions was a subject of controversy, with journalists viewing the back-to-back releases as being a form of chart manipulation.[6][7]
Background
On March 14, 2019, Nav released the EP Brown Boy on SoundCloud.[8]The project's tracks later went on to be included on the deluxe edition of Nav's second studio album Bad Habits.[9] Shortly after the release of Good Intentions, Nav announced a deluxe edition release of the album titled Brown Boy 2, which he described as containing "some snippets, some leaks and some new vibes" on social media.[10][11] The release of the re-issue occurred on May 11, 2020, a few days after the release of the standard edition of Good Intentions.[12]
