In 2003, she was invited by producer Steve Buckingham to record a cover version of "Jolene" for the tribute album Just Because I'm a Woman: Songs of Dolly Parton. That song drew attention to Smith, a native of Long Island, New York, who had moved to Nashville. She signed with the jazz label Vanguard Records and released her debut album in 2004. It was produced by Buckingham, who is a member of the Country Music Hall of Fame. During the same year, Smith won the award for Emerging Artist of the Year from the Americana Music Association.[2]

The song "Come to Jesus" reached the Billboard charts. The Gaither Vocal Band recorded a cover version that won Bluegrass Song of the Year at the Dove Awards in 2012. Ten years after her recording, Smith said, "I believe God breathed it through me, and I was able to put it to paper." One Moment More is named after a song on the album that addresses the death of her mother.[2] Similarly, the rest of the album deals with loss, struggle, and renewal.[2][3]
