- Sun Shine was co-written with Take That’s Gary Barlow, and the video follows a couple who start their day and meet to dance.
- What a Time features collaborators Kenneth “Babyface” Edmonds, producer Dave Cobb, and longtime co-writers Bruce Sussman and Adrienne Anderson, plus a duet with Sharon “Muffy” Hendrix and a feature by saxophonist Dave Koz.
- After surgery to remove a cancerous spot on his left lung led to postponed shows, his rescheduled farewell dates begin April 13 at UBS Arena in New York, with additional arena stops and Las Vegas residency nights through 2026.
