After a collaboration with singer Demi Lovato, Lloyd had a two-year absence from the music industry.

In July 2016, Lloyd released the single "Activated". The song was described as a "memo of Cher to her fans to say she is back and she is stronger than ever". She released the singles "None of My Business" and "M.I.A." in 2018 and 2019, respectively.
