Time away from school will give Black time to work on her debut EP, set to release soon. The EP will include "Carried Away," a song that addresses the topic of bullying. Black told MTV News:

"My favorite song is one that hopefully we're putting out for the next single," she said. "It's really cool. It's about past friendships that haven't really worked out so well. I feel like it'll give reassurance to all the girls out there that have lost a friend, 'cause I lost my best friend through all this.
