With a lo-fi, simplistic, emotional approach to her music, Shiloh amassed a steady following. Her first exposure to the mainstream was when her vocals were heavily sampled on the late XXXTENTACION's debut studio album "17", which debuted at No 2 on the Billboard 200.

Although she mysteriously disappeared in late 2016, she oddly started a company called “SHILOH DYNASTY LLC” on February 24th, 2017. Shiloh renewed her company twice, first on February 6th, 2018 and secondarily on December 11th, 2018, only 5 days after the since disbanded Shiloh Dynasty Discord Server leaked the existence of “SHILOH DYNASTY LLC.”

In August 2019, Genius uploaded a video titled “The Influence Of Shiloh Dynasty” where they spoke to a friend of Shiloh named Saki who confirmed he had not spoken to her since 2016, the year she last posted on Instagram. Genius also contacted Shiloh’s manager, Anthony Specter, who spoke on the topic publicly for the first time ever. Anthony was quoted as saying “Shiloh is an intensely private person and that is all I have to say on the matter.”

In November 2019, it was rumored that Shiloh would be featured on the late XXXTENTACION’s second posthumous album Bad Vibes Forever. Although never confirmed, it was said that Shiloh would be recreating UK singer Anneka’s uncleared sampled vocals on the 2014 track Ecstasy. The vocals were then confirmed to be recreated by Noah Cyrus only weeks later when a snippet of the updated track surfaced.

In late December 2019, a full 38 months after her last post on Instagram, an associate of Shiloh confirmed that she had recently cut ties with him saying she had “no intention of returning to the public eye.”

Line by Line Meaning

Losing interest
Slowly losing attraction or enthusiasm

You won't find no better than this
There is no superior option to what we have

I swear, girl, if you leave
I promise, my love, if you decide to go away

Just let me know so I won't look dumb
Inform me in advance to avoid embarrassment

And you, you won't find a better thing
And you, my dear, will not discover something better
