Jena Lee wrote six songs of the thirteen that comprise Sheryfa Luna's album, including the song "Somewhere".

After "Dirty Diary" disbanded, Jena took to Instagram in a now delete post to announce that her absence from the music indistry was voluntary.
She has also stated that work on her third solo studio album had begun, although no official release date or title was given, Jena often updates fans on the album by responding to comments or by posting snippets on her social media pages.
