Background
The album was announced by Redd in March 2020 via his Instagram story with the caption reading "PEGASUS, the album. One day". Redd said that the album would take a "dreamy, nostalgic and outer space" approach this time around. Later in June 2020, Redd had announced a deluxe version for the album, and that it would be his rock project that he teased in March 2019, and gave more information about the upcoming album on an Instagram live stream. He stated that the songs on the album would be put in a specific order as his previous project A Love Letter to You 4, with love songs being first, deep in the middle, and hard songs last. He said Pegasus would "be way better" than A Love Letter to You 4, and that "it takes you from place to place as far as genre goes. The whole goal with that was... I was thinking next level".
On August 18, 2020, fans leaked the full album after Redd had stated that he would delay the album further if more of his music continued to leak online. According to an interview with popular rapper 6ix9ine who is in the same record label, Pegasus has been pushed back for months by Redd's label who didn't feel that a new project from Redd would gain enough traction to be financially viable. Later on October 29, 2020, Trippie Redd released Pegasus featuring 26 tracks including the two singles "Excitement" with PARTYNEXTDOOR and "I Got You" featuring Busta Rhymes. The final album contained 1 hour and 14 minutes' worth of material and featured over a dozen featured artists.
