At the end of 2016, Hayley celebrated the release of her major-label debut EP CITRINE, which included pop confections "Pretty Girl" and "Palace", by launching her nationwide "One Bad Night Tour". The completely sold-out headline tour saw Hayley performing her new music for her passionate and devoted fans in cities throughout the US. According to Baeble, Hayley "managed to turn a sold out Studio at Webster Hall into an intimate dance party for everyone to feel free in a safe zone."
Following singles including "Sleepover", "Feelings", and "Curious" have been released to accompany her debut studio album Expectations, which was released on March 30, 2018. The album reached the top 20 of the charts in United States, Canada and Australia. She has also created a comic book, with the help of Naomi Franquiz and Marla Vazquez, based on her song "Gravel to Tempo".
Kiyoko was a founding member of The Stunners in 2007. The group supported Justin Bieber's My World Tour, before disbanding in 2011.
Kiyoko was born to figure skater/choreographer Sarah Kawahara and actor/comedian Jamie Alcroft. Her mother is from Canada and her father is from Ohio, USA.

give me yes or no
its all a mystery
its all the little things
tell me what you want this to be
tell me what you want me to see
i just cant catch a break
when everythings at stake
i know what i want this to be
i know what i want me to see
get your heavy weight off my back
im on the right track
and your feeding the fire
walked the thinest line to get me back
im on the right track
and your feeding the fire
oh

oh
let go of everything before we make it sting
our draging things along
but i cant sing that song
i know what i want this to be
i know what i want me to see
get your heavy weight off my back
im on the right track
and your feeding the fire
walked the thinest line to get me back
im on the right track
and your feeding the fire
oh

go go just go, go go just go, go go just go
go go just go, go go just go, go go just go

Hayley Kiyoko's "Feeding the Fire" is a song that explores the intricacies and challenges of a relationship. The singer seems unsure of what her partner wants, as she begs for a clear answer - "stay or should I go, give me yes or no." She perceives that the relationship is all a mystery, with all its little nuances that can make or break it. The singer believes that her partner is dragging her along and making her guess, which she finds frustrating. She knows what she wants the relationship to be, but she can't seem to get there. However, she is determined to try to make things work and find a way forward, "get your heavy weight off my back, I'm on the right track, and you're feeding the fire."
There's an underlying theme of struggle and perseverance in the lyrics, as the singer is determined to stay the course and work things out with her partner. Even though she feels like everything is at stake, she is looking for a way forward and not a fast escape. She asks her partner to let go of everything before they make it sting, potentially referring to past conflicts or grudges. At the same time, the singer acknowledges that her partner's actions and words are “feeding the fire,” – keeping the passion in their relationship alive – and that they have walked the thinnest line to get to where they are. The song ends with the repeated plea to get the "heavy weight" off her back, implying that the relationship is hampering her growth in some way.
