Their second album Memento Mori was released in late 2009 and debuted at No. 8on the Billboard charts, featuring the singles “Again” and “Missing.”  Their third album New Horizons was released in late 2012 and marked the addition of lead vocalist KRISTEN MAY and the departure of Lacey Sturm. After months of touring the world with the new line-up, FLYLEAF released a new EP Who We Are in 2013 which featured the song“Something Better” with P.O.D. frontman Sonny Sandoval on vocals.
