On August 18, 2023, she released a song, "Apples" with Los Angeles–based group The 27s.[9] Rolling Stone magazine wrote of the song: "Not only does it sound like a bop, but it also seems like she’s drawing inspiration from her recent experiences dealing with friendship breakups in light of Scandoval." Entertainment Weekly called the song "kind of a banger" and predicted "it might just be the song of the summer."[10] In a February 2024 interview with the Rolling Stone, Scheana and The 27s announced that they were working on an EP together.[11] On March 1, 2024, she released a third song with the group The 27s called "Sweet & Sour".[12] Also in 2024, Scheana and The 27s re-recorded an emo screamo version of her song "Good As Gold", originally released in 2013.

Shay dated actor Eddie Cibrian, while he was married to Brandi Glanville, Shay telling Us Weekly in 2013: "Seven years ago I met Eddie, and six or eight months go by and I find out that he’s married and I call him out. He lied at first about it and then he admitted it. So I stopped talking to him for a long time." However, Cibrian was also dating singer LeAnn Rimes. Shay has denied that she knew Cibrian was still married, and admitted to believing that he was separated from his wife and was waiting on the divorce to finalize. She had no idea that Rimes was even in the picture.[18] [19] [20]
