After attended the CMC Rocks Festival in Ipswich in 2019, Amy began exploring country music.[2] Speaking to Pario in 2022, Amy said, "I'm a huge fan of country music. We grew up listening to a lot of country music. In fact, I was hearing that music when I was learning how to song write so I've always had a lot of country influences." Amy added after she "somewhat lost her identity as an individual to the band" she wanted to rediscover who she is an artist. She said "My whole adult life has been Sheppard and building this amazing career that we have managed to build up. This solo project is actually forcing me to take a deep dive into discovering who I am as an individual, which I think is going to be a huge learning curve for me. But I am looking forward to going on the journey."[2]
