- 2018/19 - Kaleigh has decided to slow her pursuit in front of the camera, over the next couple of years, to allow her to focus on studies at UCLA while developing her literary work and music. Her passion for acting remains strong and she absolutely plans to continue her development in that facet of the industry.
- "Fading" is a song about the consequences of taking the people we love for granted. The track is alternative pop with some edgy lyrics that complement the fluid melodies and aggressive tonalities. The vocals were captured in a way that pays homage to both theatrics and true gut wrenching emotion. Kaleigh says of her inspiration for the song, "Each day people get lost in the aggravation and turmoil of life and forget to cherish the people in their lives that love and support them most of all." She continues commenting that she: "wrote this song as a reminder to people to stop and think about what kind of effect neglect or lack of emotional expression can have on a person that you claim to love." Kaleigh wanted to send a powerful and inspiring message to cherish the ones you love.
- "The main inspiration for this album is the notion of coming of age. I just graduated from UCLA in March of 2020 and turned 22 years old in December, so I feel like my perspective on the world has changed. I'm no longer a little girl dreaming about writing music; I'm a woman writing music about what I see in this world and how I feel. I hope that strikes a chord with people and touches some hearts. I really believe there is a song on this album for everyone," Kaleigh explains.
