After graduating from Bristol, Allen started performing across the United Kingdom and began taking regular trips to Nashville to collaborate with other songwriters to further develop her songwriting. In the summer of 2017, Allen launched a successful crowdfunding campaign which allowed her to record her second EP, a four-track release titled Between The Lines.
