She originally put out the song on her own but Columbia Records very quickly scooped her up and so, she will be releasing her forthcoming album through them.
The 20-year-old began posting videos to Vine in 2013 where her singing Vines (typically six second covers of popular songs) helped grow her a following.

When asked about the evolution of “Lost Boy”, Ruth B explains, “When I initially posted the ‘Lost Boy’ Vine there was no song. It was just some words I threw together to a catchy melody. Once I saw the reaction to the vine I thought, ‘Maybe I should turn this into a full song.’ So I sat down one day and wrote the song.” I wanted there to be more to the track than the cast of children’s classic. I made sure that it wasn’t just about Peter Pan, fairies and pixie dust,” Ruth continues. “I figured that some people were going to listen to it, so I wanted to make sure it had a message. Something that people could take away from it. Everyone gets lonely and everyone needs a friend. You’re bound to feel lost at some point in your life. It’s a universal feeling.”
