The recording sessions for the album began in 2018 and ended in May 2019. Musically, Indigo is an R&B album that incorporates a diverse range of genres including pop, Afrobeats, dancehall, trap and bounce music. The lyrical content explores themes of spiritual love, sex, energy and vibrations. The album features a supernatural and spiritual imagery conceived by Brown, and handled by graffiti artist Saturno, visual artist Jeff Cole, and 3D artists Circle Circle Math and Sarper Baran. Indigo garnered mostly positive reviews from critics, who praised Brown's vocal performances as well as the album's production and sound; however, some criticized its structure.

The album debuted at number one on the US Billboard 200, making it his third number-one album in the US, and first in seven years, since Fortune (2012). Indigo is certified triple platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), which makes this Brown's sixth multi-platinum selling album. Six official singles were released from Indigo, including: "Undecided", "Back to Love", "Wobble Up", featuring Nicki Minaj and G-Eazy, "No Guidance", featuring Drake, and "Heat", featuring Gunna. "No Guidance" was certified diamond by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), and became the highest-charting song from the album on the Billboard Hot 100, peaking at number 5, and topping the Rhythmic Airplay chart, until being unseated by the following released single, "Heat", at the top spot. In 2022, the song "Under the Influence", featured in the extended edition of the album, emerged as a sleeper hit, achieving significant international success.
