Kimball also appeared in a Candie's commercial with rock legend Pat Benatar. Of this experience, Cheyenne said in an interview:
They offered for Pat to do the campaign. She’s never used her music for any type of commercial. She was very iffy about it. She didn’t want to work with any other artists, but when they mentioned my name she said that she wanted to do it. She really liked everything that I was doing and really thought it was a good idea. So it just kind of happened. It was an honor, it really was. It was great working with her. Of course the clothes were great, too, that didn’t hurt.
Cheyenne was a vocalist and mandolinist in the band Gloriana's self-titled 2009 debut album.

All these lies I've been told I will say
Found a reason for the things that you say
Now I sing them till they all fade away
Seen clearer days (I'm not worried today)
Dreaming of you everyday
And I tell myself that I will be ok
And ill take my time until I get it right
And I wanna take it back someday
All the times that I found drift away
All these lies I've been told I will say
Seen clearer days (I'm not worried today)
Dreaming of you everyday
And I tell myself that I will be ok
And I Cant believe I ever walked away
And ill take my time until I get it right
And I wanna take it back someday
Seen clearer days (I'm not worried today)
Dreaming of you everyday
And I tell myself that I will be ok
And I Cant believe I ever walked away
And ill take my time until I get it right
And I wanna take it back someday
Seen clearer days (I'm not worried today)
Dreaming of you everyday
And I tell myself that I will be ok
And I Cant believe I ever walked away
And ill take my time until I get it right
And I wanna take it back someday
And I wanna take it back
Drift Away
And I wanna take it back someday
The lyrics to "Drift Away" by Cheyenne Kimball are about reflection and regret over past mistakes. The first verse talks about how the singer's past failures and lies are fading away, and they've found a reason for why they made those mistakes. The chorus repeats the phrase "drift away," which suggests that the singer is letting go of negative feelings and moving forward. The second verse has similar themes with the added element of dreaming about someone they've left behind. The lyrics seem to be about trying to reconcile with this person and taking the necessary time to make things right.
The overall message of the song is one of self-discovery and growth. The repeated phrase "seen clearer days" implies that the singer has gained a new perspective on their past actions and is in a better place to make amends. The line "ill take my time until I get it right" shows a willingness to learn from past mistakes and not rush into things. The song ends with the singer expressing a desire to take back the past and "drift away" from their past regrets.
