She recorded the follow-up, 2014’s On the Go, while also working as a radio personality. The album featured a more mature look from the one-time teen star.

Loo passed away in 2018 after a tragic fall. In 2020 Lam won Best Original Score at the Hong Kong Film Awards for her work on My Prince Edward.
