It will be released on November 13, 2012, by RCA Records. The lead single, "Your Body", was released on September 17, 2012. Aguilera described the new album as: "This album is about self-expression and freedom," Aguilera said in a statement announcing the album. "There is a lot I have gone through personally over the past few years and this record represents a rebirth for me. The record is about freedom and getting back to the root of who I am and what I love to do."In an interview for Billboard Magazine, Aguilera further commented about the album title: "This album represents a celebration of the new me, and to me the lotus has always represented this unbreakable flower that withstands any harsh weather conditions in its surroundings, that withstands time and remains beautiful and strong throughout the years. Once I could start writing my own songs, beginning with Stripped, I tried to infuse as much as I could to promote strength and inspire people with that message. And now I'm at a place at 31, where the last time I felt this way was when I was 21 with Stripped and I had a lot to say and a lot to express."
