The publishing house further claimed that Lisa Marie, before her death due to cardiac arrest on 12 January 2023, asked for the assistance of her eldest daughter, Riley Keough to help her finish her memoir. Riley Keough, Lisa Marie Presley's daughter, played a pivotal role in bringing her mother's memoir to fruition. Keough, burdened by the guilt of an unfinished memoir, utilized the recorded tapes of her late mother, covering multiple aspects of Lisa’s life including her relationship with her mother, Priscilla Presley, her past failed marriages with Michael Jackson and Nicolas Cage and the death of her son, Benjamin Keough.

According to Random House, the memoir will primarily consist of Lisa Marie's words, with Keough contributing to fill in the gaps from her own memory and insights from those closest to her. Keough expressed the bittersweet privilege of working on her mother's autobiography, stating, "I'm so excited to share my mom now, at her most vulnerable and most honest, and in doing so, I do hope that readers come to love my mom as much as I did."
