What I Didn't Tell You

1. Overview
What I Didn’t Tell You is Coco Jones’s 2022 EP (released November 4, 2022 on High Standardz/Def Jam) with a deluxe edition added January 20, 2023. It functions as her breakout project, anchored by the Grammy-winning track ICU and highlighting a more mature R&B voice that helped elevate her from television star to a rising recording artist. ICU’s Grammy win and the EP’s Grammy nomination helped anchor her shift into a full album in subsequent years. ([en.wikipedia.org](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/What_I_Didn%27t_Tell_You))

- Recording dates/sessions: Public credits primarily list the tracks and contributors rather than explicit studio dates; the EP is documented as a 2022 project with a 2023 deluxe reissue, reflecting sessions across late 2021–early 2022 and into 2023 as tracks were finalized for the deluxe pack.
