Taking a few years away from the music scene to work on new material, Jennifer released her second studio album, Positively Somewhere, in September 2001. This album featured a more mature pop-rock sound, but went virtually unnoticed in the U.S. after its release due to lack of promotion on her label's part. It wasn't until its European and Asian release in the summer of 2002 that it achieved some success, thanks to the modest hit "Stranded", a cover of the Plumb song. Following the release of this album, Paige parted ways with her label, Edel. As a result, her former label released a compilation record in 2003 called Flowers - The Hits Collection, which comprised all of Paige's singles alongside a selection of other material lifted from her first two albums.
It wasn't until April 2008 that Jennifer Paige released her follow-up album, Best Kept Secret. Released in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland in 2008 through her new label GLOR Music Production GmbH, it included the singles "Wasted", "Underestimated", and the Nick Carter collaboration "Beautiful Lie".
A few years later, Paige collaborated with Coury Palermo for a couple of EPs but returned to her solo ventures for her first Christmas album, Holiday. Released in November 2012, it featured original seasonal material along with reworkings of old classics.
Following a successful kickstarter campaign, Paige released her fifth studio album in March 2017. Originally called Daydreamer, it was eventually renamed Starflower, and includes the single "The Devil's in the Details".

Jennifer Paige Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Trying to find my place
Keeps avoiding me
That trace of who I want to be
Suffered injustice
Don't know what trust is
It slipped away
But I trust I'll find it someday
[Chorus]
Been disconnected embraced and rejected
Either way it doesn't bother me
But I keep moving doing what I'm doing
Guess that's the way it's supposed to be
Who, what, where and why
Voices walk with me at night
Who, what, where and why
Questions of my life
Angel on my shoulder
Winds blow colder
And I'm afraid
They might blow my angel away
I'm the dead ringer
There goes the chick singer
What they don't know
Is what they'll never see
[Chorus]
But I Keep movin' doin' what I'm doin'
All The fear I've held inside
Has left me with some peace of mind
And now love's knockin' at my door
That's when I know there's something more
The song "Questions" by Jennifer Paige expresses the struggles faced by someone who is trying to find their place in the world. The opening lines "Stare into God's face, Trying to find my place" depict someone who is searching for their identity and purpose. However, despite their efforts, they feel lost and unable to find the trace of who they want to be. The lyrics suggest that the singer has suffered from injustice and betrayal, which has made it difficult for them to trust others. Yet, they remain hopeful and believe that they will find the trust they seek someday.
The chorus of the song emphasizes the feeling of disconnect that the singer has experienced. They have been embraced and rejected, but neither of these outcomes bothers them. Instead, they keep moving and doing what they are doing, for that is the way it is supposed to be. The verse "Who, what, where, and why, Voices walk with me at night, Who, what, where, and why, Questions of my life" portrays the internal struggle that the singer goes through every day. The voices in their head don't let them rest, and they are constantly questioning every aspect of their life.
The song ends on a hopeful note, suggesting that all the fear that the singer has held inside has left them with some peace of mind. They are now open to love and the possibility that there is something more out there for them.

Looking for guidance and direction from a higher power
Trying to find my place
Struggling to figure out where I fit in the world
Keeps avoiding me
The answer to my purpose is elusive and hard to find
That trace of who I want to be
A faint remembrance of my ideal self still remains
Suffered injustice
Experienced unfair treatment or misfortune
Don't know what trust is
I am unsure of who to rely on or who to trust
It slipped away
The ability to trust others disappeared
But I trust I'll find it someday
I am hopeful that one day I will regain the ability to trust
Been disconnected embraced and rejected
I have experienced relationships that have varied in closeness and acceptance
Either way it doesn't bother me
Despite these ups and downs, I remain unaffected by them
But I keep moving doing what I'm doing
I continue on with my life, despite its challenges
Guess that's the way it's supposed to be
Perhaps this is just the natural ebb and flow of life
Who, what, where and why
The fundamental questions that all people ask themselves
Voices walk with me at night
My thoughts are constantly with me, even when I am trying to sleep
Questions of my life
These deep questions are ever-present and continue to plague me
Angel on my shoulder
A guiding force that is always with me
Winds blow colder
Life's challenges continue to test me
And I'm afraid
I am scared of what is to come
They might blow my angel away
I fear that my guiding force might disappear
I'm the dead ringer
I am a performer or expert in my field
There goes the chick singer
A reference to the gender biases in the music industry
What they don't know
Others are not aware of the struggle I face
Is what they'll never see
The depth of my pain and challenges are not visible to others
All The fear I've held inside
I have hidden my innermost anxieties for too long
Has left me with some peace of mind
Finally sharing my struggles has given me some relief
And now love's knockin' at my door
I have found a positive force in my life
That's when I know there's something more
I realize that there is potential for positive change in my life
