The album was supported by the singles "wonderful" and "pick up the phone".
In an interview with Billboard, Travis Scott explained the meaning of his album title: "My next album, Birds in the Trap Sing McKnight is basically about all my friends and growing up here . I'm not saying that it's a trap, we not in the fucking projects but it's like a social trap. It's a social connection trap from what you want to do and how you want to express yourself. I feel like everyone just gets constricted by their parents or just life." Scott later said during the third episode of .wav radio on Beats 1 that the original name of the album was going to be Tina, until Quavo, another rapper inspired Scott to change the album name to Birds in the Trap Sing McKnight.
On July 24, 2016, in an interview with DJ Whoo Kid, Scott revealed his biggest musical influence, Kid Cudi, would appear on the album. This was revealed a month after Cudi announced that Scott would appear on his respective solo album, Passion, Pain & Demon Slayin'.
