Stephanee RaChe', whose stage name is a unique twist on her first name and half of her middle name, hails from Orlando, FL, drawing inspiration from the city's life, culture, and weather that shape her creative process. The diverse genres of pop, jazz, gospel, country/pop, reggae, rap, and blues influence her Rhythm and Blues or Rhythmic style, embodying her eclectic musical approach.

The creative process behind "Shadow" unfolded in collaboration with producer Michael Walker and songwriter Caroline Walker. Stephanee initiated the concept, focusing on the loss of a relationship framed as being in the other person's shadow. The co-write session resulted in a productive "pre-production phase," where lyrics, melody, and vocals were laid down.

Stephanee RaChe' views "Shadow" as a song of empowerment, emphasizing the importance of not losing one's identity in another person. The track encourages listeners to acknowledge and process their emotions fully before embracing self-love, standing strong, and never losing themselves again.
