Background and recording

Following his signing to 10K Projects, a subsidiary of Warner Records, Jaydes began working on a new album project. Heartpacing is a self-produced nine-track EP by Jaydes that clocks in at about 16 minutes. Jaydes had expressed that he had worked on the EP entirely in FL Studio. It includes tracks featuring Rich Amiri and Riovaz. In the years following its release, Heartpacing gained renewed traction.

Critical reception

Heartpacing received generally positive reviews from critics. Writing for Pitchfork, Alphonse Pierre said the project had reconnected plugg by pairing emo quavers with the "luxuriant" production typical of the style. While felt that its "upbeat tracks" had a "bounce", and that "his flow makes every line sound like it ends with a shrug".
