[1] Shila began preparing for the album during the same year after she participated I Am a Singer (season 2), and during a significant amount of media scrutiny.

In contrast to Shila's previous work, the production of My Journey consists of drum programming, synthesizers, pulsating bass, processed backing vocals, and guitars.

On April 22, 2016, Shila unveiled the album cover on Instagram featuring the date of her press conference.

On May 28, 2015, Shila released her debut Chinese single in Hong Kong, "再见不再见"[4] through her very own major recording label, Shilala (HK) Limited.

This single had been performed live during her Shila Amzah: The Symbol of Love, International Press Conference.
