Still pursuing music, Booth worked with producer Daniel Jay to make a debut single, Potential, in 2019, solidifying his bedroom pop sound with a track he recorded in a closet.

Clara is a really good friend of mine that I met in college. The same time I moved to Denver, she moved to Wichita, Booth says. We wanted to stay in contact, but we both knew we sucked at texting and calling. We decided to write letters.
