2010
In 2006, L.P. appeared at music conference, South by Southwest, and reportedly sparked a bidding war amongst major labels, eventually being signed by L.A. Reid to his Island Def Jam Music Group record label, part of the Universal Music Group. Under the IDJ deal, she wrote with many pop songwriters such as Matthew Gerrard, Billy Steinberg, Alexander Kronlund, Ted Bruner, Christopher Rojas, Fernando Garibay, Desmond Child, Chantal Kreviazuk, Raine Maida, Jonnie "Most" Davis and Billy Mann, however, due to artistic differences she left the contract.
L.P. signed to SoBe Entertainment in 2007, an independent record label with the album tracks she had written at the major label. "Love Will Keep You Up All Night", one of the tracks she had written at Island Def Jam Music Group with Billy Mann, was released in late 2007 on the Backstreet Boys album, Unbreakable. She wrote and performed, "Wasted", from her album Suburban Sprawl & Alcohol, which was the theme song for a television show "South Of Nowhere" on The N currently known as TeenNick. It first aired on November 4, 2005 and the final episode aired on December 12, 2008. MTV's The Hills has also featured L.P.'s song "Damage Is Done" in mid-2010, which has since been released on iTunes.
During 2009 L.P. started writing songs for other artists, working extensively on the Heidi Montag album, Superficial (Warner Music). L.P. co-wrote the single, "More Is More", as well as the album tracks, "Twisted", "Hey Boy", and "Love It or Leave It". L.P. also co-wrote other tracks for and with Montag, such as the Cathy Dennis co-write, "Look How I'm Doin'", "I Do This", and "Who's That Girl". A song she wrote with Alexander Kronlund,"Standing Where You Left Me", was released on Erik Hassle's debut UK album, Pieces (Roxy/EMI/Universal).
