In December 2010, the single "Took a Minute" by Levthand featuring Kim Appleby was released in Europe.

A download only single called "High" was released in 2007.

In 1994, Kim decided that she wanted to take a break from being a recording artist to concentrate purely on song writing for other acts. As a result, she spent some time in Sweden working with songwriter Anders Bagge, co-founder of the Murlyn Music Group. She has also collaborated with Michael Garvin ("Never Give Up on A Good Thing") as well as Sheppard Solomon (Britney Spears, Kelly Clarkson, Natalie Imbruglia).

Kim's second album, Breakaway, only received a limited release. However, she released three further singles, "Light Of The World" [#41, 1993], "Breakaway" [#56, 1993] and "Free Spirit" [#51, 1994] which saw her reunite with Stock and Aitken.

Kim released her first solo album Kim Appleby, in November 1990. The album included songs co-written with Mel for what was intended to be the next "Mel and Kim" album, alongside other songs that Kim had composed following Mel's passing. One of these songs, "Don't Worry", was selected as the first single, and reached number two in the British charts in November 1990, as well as being a huge hit in Europe. As a result, "Don't Worry" was nominated for a prestigious Ivor Novello Award for Best Contemporary Song in 1991.
