The methods by which Jillian Hervey has released music with Lucas Goodman as the duo Lion Babe have been complicated, singular, and a little confusing. According to Euphoria, the band's debut single was the independently released "Treat Me Like Fire," which incorporated a '70s soul sample, showcased Hervey's formidable pipes, and boasted a viral music video. Major label Interscope Records signed Lion Babe, and released a string of singles in 2013 and 2015, but then didn't send out the duo's album, Begin, until early 2016. Just four months later, Lion Babe's full-length follow-up, "Sun Joint," was posted on Bandcamp – an independent release, because the act had split with Interscope.

Hervey understandably has a lot of mixed feelings about working within the mainstream music industry as opposed to creative and professional independence. "Obviously, the luxury of having a bigger company who's done this forever is they have an ingrained system of marketing and all these things, and obviously, I think those things work for people who have a focused team around them," she explained. "It all comes down to people, and if you don't have the right people — even if they have all the clout and connections — you just continue to battle different things and it detracts from the music, at least in our life."
