Stevie Wonder selected the four previously unreleased songs for the Songs in the Key of Life EP. Wonder wrote and produced all four tracks, with Susaye Greene credited as a co-writer on My Life Story of Love. John Fischbach and Gary O Adante, the original recording and mixing engineers, remixed the songs for release.

The EP includes It's Easier, described as a bossa nova-style song that questions whether to move away from the concept of love. My Life Story of Love is described as a Wonder song about a developing relationship. I Can See the Sun in Late December is a slow jazz ballad about determined optimism and self-discovery.

I'm Into Livin' is a funk track about Wonder giving up his former partying and womanizing habits to commit to one lover. The track features Thelma Houston and Deniece Williams as backing vocalists.

Wonder is preparing for an arena tour on which he will perform Songs in the Key of Life in full. The tour will begin on 13 October in Birmingham, UK. His most recent new material was the 2024 single Can We Fix Our Nation's Broken Heart, and he has not released a new studio album since 2005.
