Background

Scott began her career as an actress and gained recognition for starring in musical films such as Lemonade Mouth (2011), Aladdin (2019) and Smile 2 (2024), and performing on their official soundtracks. [1] [2] [3] In the latter, she portrayed the fictional popstar Skye Riley and released a soundtrack extended play (EP), in which she co-wrote two songs for. [4] Outside of the soundtracks, she released two EPs, Invisible Division (2014) and Promises (2016). [5] In 2018, Scott revealed that she was working on her first studio album. [6]

Following the release of Smile 2, Scott was interviewed by Vogue Hong Kong, in which she confirmed that her album would come out next year. [7] She revealed that she started working on it three years ago and that it was inspired by songs she grew up listening to on her father's Windows Media Player, and that it would have 'soulful 80s' vibe. [7] The album is produced by Norwegian musician Lido. [8]

Title

The album's title is an acronym of Fall Into Grace. Scott stated that her middle name is Grace, and she wanted the album to be an exploration of different versions of herself: "Although it's not autobiographical necessarily, it is [more] putting myself in different contexts in terms of different paths that I have taken". [9]

She also said that it was inspired by Sylvia Plath’s The Bell Jar where one of the characters "has a dream [where she's] sitting at the foot of this fig tree, and all the figs represent different versions of her life. Making this album allowed me to kind of sit in these different versions of myself, which was also a way of mourning other versions of my life as well." [9]

Promotion

To promote the album, Scott performed a rendition of the Lemonade Mouth song "She's So Gone", along with all of the songs from F.I.G live at the 2025 Lollapolooza, held in Chicago on 2 August. [10] [11]

Singles

On 2 July 2025, "Rhythm" was released as the lead single from the album, and it featured vocals from Johnny Yukon. [12] The song is about struggling with the push and pull of love. [13] Euphoria. stated that ["she is by no means gunning to become one of the mainstream pop girlies. Or at least she's not going to try to emulate popular sound."] [13] "Rhythm" is a dance-pop song. [14] The second single "Cut Me Loose" was released on 8 August 2025. [15] It has been described as an alternative pop ballad [16] and an emotional soul pop song that talks about romantic self-destruction and lack of emotional clarity. [17] The first version of "Cut Me Loose" was written in 2021 and she re-worked on it a year later. [17]

On 5 September 2025, "Cherry" was released as the third single. [18] The music video was directed by Scott herself. [19] The song features elements of 90s pop combined with a dance melody and rhythmic drum beats. [19] The fourth single, "Sweet Nausea" was released on 7 November 2025. The song was created in 15 minutes and it's a self-reflective track, which Scott describes as a 'carousel of regret'. [20] On 23 January 2026, the fifth single "Losing You" was released, along with the announcement of the album. [21]
