P.S. I Love Me (formerly titled Tattoos & Roses: The Rebellion Against My Pain) is the fourth studio album from American recording artist Lil' Mo, released on November 1, 2011, through HoneyChild Entertainment and the Bronx Bridge Entertainment independent label. The title is a reference to the 2007 film P.S. I Love You.
Background
In 2008, under a new label, Global Music Group, Lil' Mo began work a new album, formerly titled Tattoos & Roses: The Rebellion Against My Pain. Initially, the album was to include a double disc set; half of it being a live production. However, plans were scrapped and the album underwent a completely different recording process. The album's title was then revised to P.S. I Love Me with guest appearances from Tweet, Dawn Richard (of Danity Kane, Diddy-Dirty Money), PJ Morton and other performers Mo admired in the music industry. Initial contributors Missy Elliott, MC Lyte and Fabolous did not make the final cut due to undisclosed reasons. Prepping the release of the album, Lil' Mo hosted a radio show in Washington, D.C., and insisted the album dives into "everything I have been through on my hiatus." On November 1, 2011, the project was released via HoneyChild Entertainment/Bronx Bridge Entertainment; distributed by Fontana Distribution.
