The process was not without its emotional weight. Timbaland admitted to feeling apprehensive about working on material from his idol, saying, "I did this album because of Michael Jackson. It completes my legacy". The producers worked directly from Jackson's isolated vocal tracks, building new musical landscapes around his voice without being constrained by the original arrangements. This approach allowed them to treat the demos as "blueprints" for constructing modern, vibrant songs.

The album was officially released on by Epic Records, MJJ Music, and Sony Music Entertainment. It is the tenth release by Sony and/or Motown since Jackson's death in 2009. The album is named after the title track "Xscape," following Jackson's tradition of naming his albums after a single word from a song on the record.
