To me, telling these stories with these people is the most important part of the process. We get to do something that will live on after us. we get to do something never ending".[7]

Ryan announced and released the lyrics for the band's first song, "When the Dark Falls", on her website on the 21st of April, 2014.[8] A video teaser for the band's second song, "Call Me Up", followed several days later.[9] On May 7, the video teaser for the aforementioned "When The Darkness Falls" was released.

In an interview with Robert Herrera to Front How Live Entreteniment, Ryan said she was writing new songs and the band would record the album to 2015.[15][16] Ryan confirmed the songs "Dollar Store Locket",[17] "Follow",[18] "Secondhand"[19] and "It's Not Personal".[20] On April 24, 2015, it was announced that Ryan and her band The Never Ending will accompany Natalie La Rose and Bea Miller as opening act's for the summer leg of Fifth Harmony's Reflection Tour, which is set to begin on July 15 in Louisville, KY.[21] In June 23 the band released "Secondhand" as the first single off their upcoming debut album. The music video for the song showed the band playing and singing the song in a dark room.
