Naming
West said of the name of the album:
“I believe Ye is the most commonly used word in the Bible, and in the Bible it means 'you'. So I'm you, I'm us, it's us. It went from Kanye, which means 'the only one', to just Ye - just being a reflection of our good, our bad, our confused, everything. The album is more of a reflection of who we are. "
