After almost completing a follow-up album in the same Pop/R&B vein as her debut, which would have featured the leaked track "It's So Funny", a collaboration with Mase, Joy had a change of heart about the musical direction she wished to pursue. She decided that her next release should be an inspirational/contemporary Christian music record. The ensuing album, ''Atmosphere of Heaven'', was released on March 7, 2006 on the independent label JoyfulChild, which was formed by Jerkins and Enriquez.

In 2010, she wrote the track "Boom Chika Boom" for the ''Our Family Wedding'' soundtrack, and performed/wrote the song "Beatz Be Rockin'" for the Nickelodeon ''iCarly'' series.

She contributed songs to the Lifetime series ''Dance Moms'' in 2012 with the track "Light My Fire" getting a separate digital single release.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008XIAWX6/ |website=Amazon |access-date=2017-09-02 }}</ref>
