Doyle Kennedy worked with her husband to create a follow-up album to "Sing". In 2015, she wrote a song entitled "Pride" as a response to the Irish Marriage Referendum of 2015. She also composed a song about the deaths of Michael Brown and Eric Garner in response to international media coverage of the Ferguson unrest and other police-related violence in the United States. Both songs are confirmed to be appearing on the record. "Pride," the first single from her self-titled ninth studio album, was released on 10 June 2017, with the album itself being released on 25 September.
