After attended the CMC Rocks Festival in Ipswich in 2019, Amy began exploring country music. Speaking to ''Pario'' in 2022, Amy said, "I'm a huge fan of country music. We grew up listening to a lot of country music. In fact, I was hearing that music when I was learning how to song write so I've always had a lot of country influences." Amy added after she "somewhat lost her identity as an individual to the band" she wanted to rediscover who she is an artist. She said "My whole adult life has been Sheppard and building this amazing career that we have managed to build up. This solo project is actually forcing me to take a deep dive into discovering who I am as an individual, which I think is going to be a huge learning curve for me. But I am looking forward to going on the journey." Amy's debut solo single, "Nothing but Wild" was released on 21 April 2022. Amy said "'Nothing But Wild' explores my innate desire to regularly escape the city in order to reconnect with my wild side and natural surroundings." On 5 August 2022, Amy released her second solo single "Blue Guitar" and announced the release of her debut EP, ''Nothing but Wild''. ''Nothing but Wild'' debuted at number 16 on the
