Almost a decade later, the song would be covered by Mexican pop group RBD for their English language album Rebels. Jon felt the song didn't fit in with the rest of the album and was done at the request of Epic Records in seeing the potential of the song becoming a huge hit. The last song on Cool Relax- "Tu Amor"- was penned by songwriter Diane Warren. Jon later recorded the song for himself, while giving her the song "In the Late of Night" for her album. "Pride & Joy" was originally recorded by Toni Braxton for her sophomore album Secrets, but the song never made the final track listing. The song was produced by Ali Shaheed Muhammad, who Jon sought out due to being a longtime fan of A Tribe Called Quest. The final single was the title track, which had a remix that featured Guru from the hip hop group Gang Starr. The song originally appeared on his demo tape prior to recording Bonafide- as did the album track "Can We Get Down". The next single was the song "I Do (Whatcha Say Boo)". He would record a sequel to "Are U Still Down" called "Part 2" with a posthumous appearance by Shakur on his 2004 album Stronger Everyday. Jon received assistance from Shakur's mother Afeni Shakur, who gave Jon permission to clear his vocals for the song. The song's B-side " Are U Still Down" was also issued despite objections from the record company, as it featured vocals from the then-deceased Tupac Shakur who died when Jon started recording the album. "They Don't Know" was released as the next single, with a music video directed by Christopher Erskin. The music video for the single featured a then-unknown Sanaa Lathan as the female love interest.

Jon was confident in the material for his new album, but fought with Edmonds and Babyface over certain songs to keep on the project. On his debut, he was given leeway to write and produce, but Edmonds and her then-husband Babyface were heavily involved in the making of Bonafide. Jon assumed the role of having more creative control on his second album.
