The Never Ending was formed in 2013. Ryan began writing and developing songs for the band's debut album in November 2013, and the band was officially announced on December 4 with a video teaser on YouTube. It contained the message: "I want you to meet the people I tell stories with. To me, telling these stories with these people is the most important part of the process. We get to do something that will live on after us. we get to do something never ending".
Ryan announced and released the lyrics for the band's first song, "When the Dark Falls", on her website on the 21st of April, 2014.
