Background
Originally scheduled for a release on April 17, 2012,[3] the release of 1991 was delayed following the musician's change of management on April 13.[4] The extended play's artwork and track listing was then published online on May 15, with confirmation that 1991 would first be released on May 28 in the United Kingdom.[1] The project will be released digitally on May 29 and physically on June 12 in the United States, she announced via Twitter.[5]
The original track listing featured three tracks: the single "212", "1991" and "Grand Prix".[6] The track listing was then updated, following the delay, to a four track extended play - instead featuring the tracks "Liquorice" and "Van Vogue" in place of "Grand Prix".[1]
