Trying Not to Think About It is the sixth studio album by American singer-songwriter JoJo. It was released on October 1, 2021, by Clover Music and Warner Records. Incorporating a base core of R&B, pop, and soul music, it was JoJo's third release under her own label imprint Clover Music.

Following the release of her first Christmas album December Baby (2020), production began on the "time capsule project" at the start of 2021. JoJo wanted to make a record that encapsulated the feelings she experienced as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and the effects it had on her personal life, career, and confidence as a performer. JoJo wrote and produced the album alongside Jordan XL, Noise Club, Dernst "D Mile" Emile II, Rob Grimaldi, Cardiak, Nikki Flores and various other collaborators. With the exception of "B.I.D.", JoJo co-wrote every song on the album.

To promote the album, JoJo embarked on the Trying Not to Think About It Tour which began the day after its release. The tour played for six dates across the United States. The album was further promoted through the 42-date world tour, JoJo Tour 2022, which began the following year. The album's lead single, "Worst (I Assume)", was released on August 20, 2021 and peaked at number 25 on the Adult R&B Airplay Chart. On the same day as the release of the album, "Anxiety (Burlinda's Theme)" was released its second single.

Upon its release, the album received generally favorable reviews from music critics. It was highlighted by several music publications in their year-end lists of the top R&B albums for 2021. Trying Not To Think About It failed to debut on the US Billboard 200, but did chart on the Top Album Sales chart at number 80, while also debuting at number 56 on the UK Album Downloads Chart.
