In 2013, McKee signed a contract with Epic Records and released "American Girl", which had a low commercial performance but was well received by the public.

During an interview with Idolator McKee revealed that she wrote over 100 songs, and that she plans to continue releasing recordings independently.

It was written by McKee, Charlie Puth, Sean Walsh and Axident, and is an 80s-influenced dance-pop and pop rock song.

Mike Wass from Idolator says that the song "plays like an ’80s workout tape," while the music video is "jam-packed with amazing outfits from the decade taste forgot and several eye-popping poses."
