 In September 2007 , Mauboy became a member of all @-@ girl pop group Young Divas , replacing one of the group 's original members , Ricki @-@ Lee Coulter , who had left to resume her solo career . Mauboy 's management saw the group as a " perfect learning curve " about all that was positive and negative in the music industry . Together , they released their second studio album , New Attitude in November , and the album 's lead single , " Turn Me Loose " . After things went downhill for the group following the song 's release , Mauboy went to the studio to begin working on her debut solo album Been Waiting , because she wanted to be a solo artist and it was always on her mind to become one . Mauboy began writing songs with Adam Reily , Israel Cruz , Brooke McClymont , and Audius Mtawarira . In June 2008 , Mauboy told The Jakarta Post that her debut solo single would be released in August , with the album planned for a September release . Two months later , it was announced that Mauboy had left the Young Divas to resume her solo career .
