In March 2017, Vixen parted ways with lead guitarist Gina Stile and chose Britt Lightning to succeed her. Lightning had previously played in Jaded, another all-female band that is defunct. Initially, in a June 2018 interview, Petrucci said that the band’s new album was to come out in 2019. During 2018, Gardner’s last contribution as lead singer was when Vixen went to a studio for the first time in more than 10 years and recorded two tracks for the Live Fire album, “You Ought to Know by Now” and an acoustic version of “Edge of a Broken Heart”. The former is their own cover of Ray Kennedy ‘s “You Oughta Know by Now”, originally on his 1980 self-titled album.
