The project features guest appearances from Emani22, Kodie Shane, Baby Goth, YoungBoy Never Broke Again, Nel-Denarro, Juice Wrld, Tory Lanez and Elliott Trent. Production was primarily handled by OZ, who produced half of the sixteen tracks. The mixtape also features production from Chopsquad DJ, Honorable C.N.O.T.E., and Diplo, among others.

A Love Letter to You 3 sees Trippie Redd blend cloud rap and emo rap to explore emotional vulnerability, heartbreak, and self-destruction. One critic wrote: "ALLTY3 finds the rising star contemplating newer and deeper emotions, reflecting on his positionality at the vanguard of the new school... and exploring new musical genres and styles". The mixtape was supported by its lead and sole single, "Topanga", for which a music video was released on October 30, 2018.
