Record producer Harold Shedd had been working with Comeaux since she was ten years old, helping her with her singing skills.
A year later, her debut album Moving Out was released;[1] however, Polydor closed its doors soon afterward, and Comeaux was left without a record deal.
Toby Keith, who was also on Polydor at the time, had offered to help with Comeaux's second album before the label's closure.
[2] On December 21, 1997, Comeaux was returning home with her grandmother and her godchild, Megan, from a Christmas family gathering in Alabama.
As Comeaux passed a car, her own automobile hydroplaned due to heavy rain and struck a tree.
