Later, she started formal dance and singing lessons through coach Suchita Parte, whose recording "Designer Bliss” is one of the best selling Indian albums of all time. Through encouragement from her family and uncle Vishal, she started recording her first album “From Deep Within” at Earth Studios in Mumbai (India).

Sunday morning limbo
I'm dancing in a bigger room
I got so accustomed
Sweeter words and discussion
My temper's cooling to blue, yeah
I put my trust in
To all this loving
No no no, no no no, no no no, no no, no no
No don't you, no don't you do me wrong now, yeah
I'm finally fine now, yeah, yeah
I'm taking my sweet time, oh, oh
So don't you do me wrong, do me wrong
'Cause I'm taking my

I've been meditating
I stopped medicating
I'm taking advice from the moon
I'm lost in melody, harmony, new family
They wrap me up in a cocoon
No no no, no no no, no no, no no
I put my trust in
To all this loving
No no no, no no, no no, no no, no no
No don't you, no don't you do me wrong now, yeah

In "Sweet Time," Raveena sings about taking her time while she heals from past hurts and finds a new way of life. The opening lines of the song create a peaceful image of two birds on a window on a Sunday morning. Raveena, however, is not in a state of limbo, but is rather dancing in a bigger room, suggesting she is no longer confined to a small space or held back by limitations. She has grown and expanded her horizons.
Raveena then sings about how she has become accustomed to sweeter words and calmer discussions, as her temper cools from fiery red to calming blue. She is trusting once again after experiences that made her question the authenticity of love, but she is also cautious, warning her partner not to wrong her again. She is finally fine, and taking her sweet time to process her emotions, finding peace in meditation instead of relying on medication. She has found a new support system and family, who have protected and nurtured her like a cocoon.
Overall, the song is about treating oneself with patience, kindness, and compassion while going through a process of healing and self-discovery. Raveena urges her listeners to take their time and not rush themselves while processing their emotions.
