Following the path of many Neighbours stars by diversifying into comedy/music, McIntosh released her debut album Tightrope on September 9, 2006, which debuted at number 4 on the ARIA Charts. Glenn Wheatley, Delta Goodrem's former manager, is managing McIntosh. The music and TV concept is being produced by UK producers Tom Nichols & Arnon Woolfson.

Her debut single "Mistake", was released on July 29, 2006 and premiered on Australian radio on June 26, 2006. It debuted on the ARIA Charts at #3, and has since went Gold, with shipments of over 35,000 units. Tightrope has been confirmed to be the second single to be lifted off the album. The album debuted at #4 on the ARIA Charts and #1 on the Australasian Charts and has been accredited Gold.

She performed her first single "Mistake" live during the grand final edition of The AFL Footy Show on Thursday September 29, 2006. Her performance was received poorly by the audience and has lead to a degree of criticism of Steph and her vocal ability [1]; although Steph and her management have stated that there was a technical issue throughout the performance that stopped Step being able to hear herself or the music through her ear piece.[citation needed]
