In March 2018, it was announced that Faye would not be part of F.I.R. anymore – citing creative differences and in pursuit of a solo career. In October 2018, it was announced that then 22-year-old Lydia will join the group, replacing Faye as its lead vocal.
The name F.I.R. comes from the initials of the three original members; Faye, Ian, and Real. It is also a backronym for "Fairyland In Reality", their debut album name.
