From Montreal, Beyries worked in public relations until age 26, when she was diagnosed with breast cancer.[3] While undergoing treatment, she began writing songs to deal with her emotions, and eventually worked with producer Alex McMahon to complete the album.[3] Although Beyries is francophone, Landing is predominantly in English except for the song "J'aurai cent ans", a duet with Louis-Jean Cormier which Beyries cowrote with Maxime Le Flaguais.[4]

She was a shortlisted nominee for the 2017 SOCAN Songwriting Prize in the French-language division for "J'aurai cent ans".[5]
