Amanda Shires wrote "Leave It Alone" by herself, words and music, and it sits on To the Sunset, the sixth studio album she put out on Silver Knife on August 3, 2018. She made the record in Nashville at RCA Studio A, reuniting with Dave Cobb, who had first produced her on My Piece of Land in 2016.
The songs came together in unusual quarters. In 2017, almost two years after her daughter was born, Shires holed up in a walk-in closet at home with a paper shredder, partly to keep the child from wanting to join in and partly to force her own focus. The album that came out of it pushes her folk songwriting toward rock and pop, and critics praised its writing about female ambition, control in relationships and mental health.
