The EP was officially scrapped later that month when she met [[Kinetics & One Love]] and the trio wrote their first collaboration together, "[[Dollhouse (Song)|Dollhouse]]", in their first studio session.

Doveman's production sort of gave the EP a new sound: unlike the original demos, the new versions were more piano-based, also incorporating jazz fusion and blues influences.

However, the EP was oficially scrapped later in that month, and Melanie instead released the ''[[Dollhouse (EP)|Dollhouse EP]]'' the following year. It was scrapped due to Melanie being “sick of writing on guitar" and "was looking for something different" and then had the opportunity to work with [[Kinetics & One Love]] on ''[[Dollhouse (Song)|Dollhouse]]'' which "helped create this world" and she "wanted to keep writing songs that were inside that world.”, referring to how this song ended up leading her to create ''[[Cry Baby (Song)|Cry Baby]]''.<ref>https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ljgQndXHc3ZJdDzLyPus2A_NUQr8jsqj/view?usp=sharing</ref>

Jose Martinez confirmed that the EP was almost done on July 23rd, 2013[14] and Melanie also revealed that she had done a photoshoot for the EP's cover with Jordan Tiberio, however some photos including the cover art got corrupted so she had to do another one.[15] Melanie also tweeted around August 21st, 2013 that the EP was coming out "very soon".
