The album debuted and peaked at number 62 on the US Billboard 200. The song "Enough" was released in May 2019 as the album's lead single followed by "PTSD" featuring T-Pain. A music video for the song "Bad Girl" premiered with the album's release. Sketchbook was promoted by appearances at award shows and talk shows, as well as a North American tour supported by Robin Thicke, Tank, and singer The Bonfyre in the fall of 2019. The latter two would appear on a remix of "PTSD" released digitally and serviced to United States urban contemporary radio in November of the same year.
